ABSTRACT
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is used for the management of morbid obesity. Phytobezoars are rarely reported as a complication of this operation and are usually extracted by endoscopic means. We report a 48 year-old male subjected to a gastric banding, that consulted for progressive dysphagia, six months after the operation. A barium meal x-ray examination demonstrated the presence of a bezoar that was dissolved in one week using papain. A control barium meal confirmed the disappearance of the bezoar.
