Abstract: SAGB could be positioned with laparoscopy in 75% of the cases but the incidence of complications and side-effects postoperatively has been high.

“…106 However, there have been growing concerns about side effects induced by these surgical techniques, including stenosis at the anastomosis site, stomal ulcer, fistula, band erosion, and motor dysfunction of the esophagus, stomach, and small bowel among others. [107][108][109][110][111] Thus far, only a few studies have assessed the objective presence of GERD prior to bariatric surgery, most specifically in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or adjustable gastric banding. There is a lack of uniformity in assessing the presence of GERD pre-and post-bariatric surgery, using validated GERD-questionnaires, ambulatory pH monitoring, or upper endoscopy.…”

“…95 Higher revision and explantation rates were described in early series before band placement and adjustment techniques had been refined. 96,97 Ultimately, all materials age, and although silicone has very durable properties, replacement with time may be needed. Early devices placed in the late 1980s are performing satisfactorily to date, but younger patients should not expect that they will keep a particular gastric band for life.…”

“…[16][17][18] According to the literature, band erosion after LAGB occurs in about 0.6%-11% of patients. 4,5 In our study, 14 of 110 (12.7%) patients experienced band erosion and underwent gastroscopic or surgical removal of the band system. This rate of erosion is higher than that reported in previously published series.…”
