Introduction: Obesity levels mean an increased presentation of patients with Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB).
Method: Literature search revealed a paucity of information on ultrasonography to diagnose a slipped LAGB.
Conclusion: 2D Ultrasonography with a standard low frequency curvilinear probe proved to be a simple, effective method of diagnosing slipped Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). We suggest the inclusion of routine abdominal ultrasound (after drinking water to improve sensitivity of the test) as part of the routine workup of suspected LAGB slippage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
