Abstract
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is one of the most common bariatric procedures performed in Europe and Australia. Major post-operative complications are limited but once they occur, prompt diagnosis and treatment are mandatory. LAGB complications are related either to the port and the connecting tube, such as infection or tubing disconnection and migration, or to the band, such as slippage, pouch dilatation, or intra-gastric migration. We report a case of intra-colonic migration of the connecting tube occurring 4 years after gastric banding placement in a patient otherwise asymptomatic.
