Abstract
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this article is to review the radiologic appearance of complications of the adjustable gastric band.
CONCLUSION
Continuous progress in surgical technique of adjustable gastric banding and the increasing experience of surgeons have decreased the rate of complications. However, because different complications may have the same clinical presentation but require different treatment, to give a definitive diagnosis, the radiologist must be aware of the surgical procedures and possible sequelae.
