The primary aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the role of endoscopic removal of eroded gastric bands. Additionally, meta-regression did not demonstrate any significant differences between specific gastric band tools utilized during endoscopic removal in technical (P=0.831), clinical success (P=0.66), intra- or post-procedure adverse events (P=0.62 and P=0.35), and conversion to surgery (P=0.84).
