Complications of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding occur in 10 - 20% of patients. However, hepatobiliary complications of this procedure are very rare. We report a unique case of gastric band misplacement around the hepato-duodenal ligament. The patient developed obstructive jaundice several months after the gastric band placement and suffered recurrent episodes of obstructive jaundice and cholangitis that were initially erroneously attributed to fatty infiltration of the liver. Further diagnostic work-up demonstrated the presence of the gastric band in the hepatic hilum. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis, and the band was removed. Jaundice reversed and hepatic function was restored following removal of the occluding band.

To date, no prospective study has been conducted to compare the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic snare resection with an elastic band (ESR-EB) and endoscopic snare resection with a transparent cap (ESR-C) for treating gastric muscularis propria lesions. We aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of ESR-EB with those of ESR-C for gastric muscularis propria lesions less than 10 mm in diameter. A total of 64 patients were enrolled prospectively from May 2023 to November 2023 at Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University, and the People's Hospital of Zhongshan City.

To assess the medium-term weight loss and maintenance of lean body mass (ideal weight/weight loss maintenance) following the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgical procedure with or without the use of a rigid gastric ring. An observational cohort study with a retrospective approach was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of RYGB with and without a band in patients with morbid obesity. The outcomes were assessed by analyzing data obtained from medical records, including pre- and postoperative data.

Pregnancy after laparoscopic adjusted gastric banding (LAGB) is thought to be safe and lowers the risk for maternal obstetric complications, without causing a difference in birth weight or a higher incidence of neonatal complications. Even though LAGB complications in pregnancy are rare, they are often severe and can cause significant maternal and neonatal morbidity. This report outlines the case of a pregnant 32-year-old female with gastric band slippage in the third trimester and provides a summary of the literature on LAGB complications in pregnancy and their management.

A rectus sheath haematoma (RSH) is a relatively rare cause of acute abdominal pain that is becoming more prevalent due to an increase in anticoagulant therapy. Of its associated complications, acute obstructive uropathy is exceedingly rare. This is a case of a 62-year-old lady who presented with abdominal pain caused by an RSH which then led to obstructive uropathy.
