Bariatric surgery is an established intervention providing significant health benefits to patients with obesity. As a result, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence now recommends bariatric surgery for those that fulfil the eligibility criteria, while emphasising the need for multidisciplinary care before and after surgery. The UK National Bariatric Surgery Registry shows gastric band procedures to be the second most common bariatric procedure performed in the UK. Gastric band erosion is a known potential complication treated primarily by laparoscopic removal of band and repair of stomach. To our knowledge, we present the first case of a partially eroded gastric band with separate gastric fistulation of the port tubing. The band was removed via endoscopy without the need for a cutaneous exploration as the port had previously been removed at incisional hernia surgery. Owing to the fact that the tubing and band were both evident within the lumen of the stomach, complete band erosion was inferred and therefore endoscopic removal thought to be indicated. In actual fact, there was separate erosion of the band and tubing; more specifically, the gastric band clasp had not eroded fully and while endoscopic removal was still possible, it was challenging and required the band to be divided. This case highlights the importance of careful patient selection, involvement of multidisciplinary care prior and after surgery and close follow-up to facilitate timely identification and management of complications.
