Gastric prolapse with pseudocysts following laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding.

Introduction: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a reversible method of surgical gastric restriction. Following LAGB, the adverse event most commonly necessitating subsequent reoperation is prolapse of the gastric corpus or fundus above the band. A review of the medical literature reveals no reports of nonpancreatic pseudocysts being associated with this adverse event.
