| Core Tip |
Band migration after gastric banding can be life threatening. Gastrointestinal endoscopic removal is a feasible technique that holds the promise of fast reconvalescence. However, there is a risk for fulminant hemorrhage from the extraction site, even a few weeks after the procedure. It is inadvisable to postpone re-intervention when bleeding is suspected when a patient presents with hematemesis or melena. |
