This is a case report of a middle-aged woman who developed discitis and osteomyelitis due to a disengaged LAGB catheter. Although complications after LAGB are rare, this case highlights the importance of monitoring patients with a history of LAGB placement and further investigation to identify risk factors for these complications.
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a popular bariatric surgical procedure used to aid in weight loss. Although significant complications may occur after LAGB, they are rare. LAGB causing discitis and osteomyelitis are incredibly rare, with only one other reported case. In this case report, we describe the case of a middle-aged woman who experienced discitis and osteomyelitis due to a disengaged LAGB catheter, which had eroded through her stomach and a part of her cecum.Overall, this case highlights the rare but potential complication of LAGB causing discitis and osteomyelitis. Patients with a history of LAGB placement should be monitored for this possibility and further investigation is needed to identify and mitigate risk factors.
