Abstract
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) has been shown to be an effective bariatric procedure with acceptable postoperative morbidity and low mortality. Long-term complications of the operation, including gastric and esophageal dilation, gastric prolapse, erosion, and port and tubing problems, may be, in part, the result of LAGB implantation technique and the long-term follow-up program and patient compliance. Band technology and implantation technique are in ongoing development to improve the long-term safety and efficacy of gastric banding.
