Lab w/u dictated by presentation
KUB-upright to assess band position & slippage
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - nl 30-45 deg to the horizontal (~2 o'clock)
Swallow Study under fluoroscopy to assess for gastro-esophageal obstruction


CT AP to assess for perforation (contained or free), abscess, intra-abdominal fluid or bleeding
==Evaluation==


Endoscopy – visualize inner lumen of esophagus and stomach for partial or full erosion  
*Lab workup dictated by presentation
*Obtain an upright [[Special:MyLanguage/KUB|KUB]] to assess band position & slippage
**Phi (φ) angle- Angle between a vertical line oriented through the spine and a second line running on the long axis of the lap band
**Normal is 4-58 degrees

*Endoscopy – visualize inner lumen of esophagus and stomach for partial or full erosion


'''5. Treatment <br/>'''


- early surgical consultation key for all patients suspected of having complications
==Management==


- intra-abdominal sepsis EGDT, antibiotics  
*Early surgical consultation key for all patients suspected of having complications
*Intra-abdominal [[Special:MyLanguage/sepsis|sepsis]] management (fluids, antibiotics)
*Remember to dose [[Special:MyLanguage/Antibiotic|antibiotics]] for morbid obesity if necessary
*Consider deflating band via port site if impending gastric necrosis due to edema/recent band inflation


- remember to dose antibiotics for morbidly obese as neccesary


- if impending gastric necrosis due to edema/recent band inflation
==Disposition==
*Admit for:
**Band slippage with obstruction or inability to tolerate liquids
**Band erosion (requires surgical removal)
**Peritonitis or signs of perforation
**Severe dehydration from prolonged vomiting
*Discharge with surgical follow-up for:
**Mild port-site complications
**Resolved obstructive symptoms after band adjustment
**Mild reflux symptoms


can deflate band via port site,&nbsp;otherwise wait for surgeon

Background

  • Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding [1]
  • Band placed at gastroesophageal junction and inflated to limit food passage
  • Band constriction adjustable via reservoir
  • Subcutaneous reservoir (~5ml port site) allows adjustment without invasive intervention
  • Postoperative complications near 10% over lifetime of patient
  • Patients typically discharged same day or POD #1


Clinical Features


Differential Diagnosis

Early

At or near time of banding or adjustment of band

  • Acute gastroesophageal obstruction - postop edema at application site forces proximal movement of the band, get KUB
  • Intra-abdominal bleeding
  • Perforated viscus
    • Esophageal pouch dilation – pain, vomiting, nausea


Late

Weeks to years after adjustment or application

  • Chronic Slippage
    • herniation of stomach through band
    • can occur long after surgery
    • may progress to gastric necrosis and perforation
  • Gastric Erosion
    • Band can erode through the full thickness of the gastric wall 
    • can present as a port site infection, gastrocutaneous fistula or intra-abdominal sepsis
  • Port Complications
    • primary overlying skin infection may represent extension of intra-abdominal process
    • need antibiotic coverage for intra-abdominal and skin flora
  • Tubing Dislodgement
  • Port Ulceration


Evaluation

  • Lab workup dictated by presentation
  • Obtain an upright KUB to assess band position & slippage
    • Phi (φ) angle- Angle between a vertical line oriented through the spine and a second line running on the long axis of the lap band
    • Normal is 4-58 degrees
