Gastric banding adjustment catheter dislodgement and perforation into the colon: case report

Intraluminal penetration of the dislodged adjustment tube into the colon is extremely rare and may be asymptomatic such as in case of our patient. Other relevant complications after gastric band implantation may also remain undetected. During long-term follow up, occasionally performed imaging should be considered also in asymptomatic patients with implanted gastric banding system.
