Abstract
In a consecutive series of 138 laparoscopic adjustable gastric bandings (LAGB) we observed disconnection of the gastric band catheter at the site of the port connector in 17 patients. During operative revision we established a new port position with a minimal distance of 10 cm between the connector and the entrance of the catheter to the abdominal cavity. Using this technique no complications and no catheter disruptions occurred during a median followup period of 25 months.Entities:
