Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) surgery is now an uncommon bariatric procedure; however, complications may still be encountered. A 64-year-old man with a history of LAGB placement 13 years prior presented with 2 months of epigastric pain. He endorsed chronic heavy nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use. Computed tomography showed inflammation around the LAGB tubing with near-complete, circumferential erosion of the LAGB into the fundus. Upper endoscopy confirmed erosion of the LAGB along with port tubing into the gastroesophageal junction and fundus. The patient was referred to a foregut surgeon who performed robotic band removal.
腹腔镜可调节胃束带（LAGB）手术如今已不再是常见的减肥手术；然而，仍可能会出现并发症。一名64岁男性，13年前接受过LAGB手术，现出现上腹部疼痛2个月。他认可长期大量使用非甾体抗炎药。计算机断层扫描显示LAGB导管周围有炎症，LAGB几乎完全环周性侵蚀至胃底。上消化道内镜检查证实LAGB连同端口导管侵蚀至胃食管交界处和胃底。该患者被转诊至一名前肠外科医生处，后者进行了机器人辅助胃束带移除手术。
