In acute biliary pancreatitis, body overweight and obesity represent a risk of more "severe" disease and the number and type of complications increase in categories of increasing BMI.

This case was extraordinary because of a combination of tuboovarian abscess and generalized peritonitis with E. vermicularis infection occurring during late pregnancy. Ectopic enterobiasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pelvic infections of gynecological origin.

In morbidly obese patients, intragastric balloon placement may contribute to preoperative weight reduction before elective surgery.

The present study demonstrates that LAGB for obesity may be performed on an ambulatory basis without complications.
