Abstract
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) technique is considered to be a less invasive procedure associated with very low rates of short-term complications and almost absent mortality.
A thirty-year-old male presented with abdominal pain, dysuria and hematuria for two months without improvement despite treatment with several antibiotics. The tube and port were removed through laparoscopic approach and primary closure of the urinary bladder was performed.
This case highlights the need for the physician to be aware of the serious complications when examining patients with atypical clinical conditions and medical history of gastric banding procedure.
