Abstract
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is an often performed bariatric procedure for morbid obesity. Several complications are known, including surgery and port-side-associated complications. As rare but serious late complication of LAGB, we describe a 50-year-old patient with periodic incomplete intestinal constriction due to the silicone connecting tube, 4 years after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding was performed. Abdominal CT scan showed an obstructive ileus due to a loop in the connecting tube. After surgical removal of the connecting tube, the patient recovered without sequelae.
