Management of esophagogastric fistula caused by adjustable gastric band erosion: a case report and literature review

Abstract

Abstract:

Lower esophageal and gastric fistula is a rare but dangerous complication after laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB). If the complication was handled clumsily, it could lead to serious consequences such as thoracoabdominal infection and sepsis.Owing to its low prevalence and complexity, to our knowledge, cases of esophagogastric fistula caused by gastric band erosion after LAGB have not been reported. We present our experience with a case of esophagogastric fistula occurring twelve years after a laparoscopic band procedure, and its successful management in a multidisciplinary and staged manner.

Key words: Obesity, Complications, Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, Gastric banding, Esophagogastric fistula
