Port and associated tubing from a gastric band procedure.
Case Discussion
Gastric band insertion is a fairly common form of contemporary bariatric surgery.
The band, tubing and port are well delineated on plain x-ray.
The permeable membrane of the port is identified as a circular disc - this may be accessed under fluroscopic guidance for adjustment of the band.
