[A rare case of gastric outlet syndrome: internal incarceration after removal of gastric banding]. / Teljes gyomorkimeneti elzáródás ritka esete: gyomorgyuru eltávolítását követo belso kizáródás.

The laparoscopically administrated adjustable gastric banding used to be widely practiced as treatment of extreme obesity. As lots of complaints and complications arose sooner or later after this procedure, they had to be removed quite often. Half year after such a removal we observed a 37-year-old female patient with complete gastric outlet obstruction. The patient was operated and cured completely. The cause of gastric obstruction was an internal incarceration of the pyloric region between the plication made at the time of the ring removal and the gastric body. We found no similar case of gastric outlet obstruction in the corresponding literature.
