title: [Gastric necrosis following gastroplasty].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Over the past ten years, laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of morbid obesity has expanded. However, there are few publications describing its side effects, notably the occurrence of gastric necrosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two years after laparoscopic-banding for morbid obesity, a case of acute gastroenteritis in a 45 Year-old woman proved to be a gastric necrosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Relatively unknown, this complication is generally revealed by non-specific clinical signs. Only emergency oeso-gastro-duodenal opacification permits diagnosis. Early diagnosis permits conservative treatment before the onset of necrosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Care must be taken when using this technique, which has not yet proved its innocuousness, and regular follow-up of the patient is crucial.
