Abstract

Continuous progress in surgical technique of adjustable gastric banding and the increasing experience of surgeons has decreased the rate of complications. However, because different complications may have the same clinical presentation but require different treatment, to give a definitive diagnosis radiologist must be aware of this complication as it can be fatal to patient if remains undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
