A Unique Case of Gastric Band Tubing Eroding Into the Vaginal Cuff.

We present here the case of a woman in her 40s with a history of an adjustable gastric band placed a decade ago. After the initial procedure, she had issues with a port-site hernia, mesh placement, and explantation secondary to mesh infection. Her port was removed at the time, with the tubing left in situ with hopes of future salvage. She then presented to her gynecologist with the tubing eroding through her vaginal cuff. This case highlights the importance of having a high index of suspicion in patients with a history of gastric bands given the varying presentation in the event of a complication.
