Abstract
Gastric band migration, for which abscess of the subcutaneous port is an alarm signal, can in some cases be asymptomatic. Therapeutic options for withdrawal of the migrated band include colonoscopy (if the band is located at the level of the ileo-caecal valve), laparoscopy and mini-laparotomy.
