Stupid question re: slips

If someone experiences a slipped band, but is medically qualified for rebanding, why is the band removed and a new one put in place? Why isn't the original band just resecured back where it should be?

I have no clue or answer, but I wanted to take a guess....I'm assuming that the MD is eliminating any potential liability by removing the original band in the event slippage occurred due to malfunction? Like I said, just a guess.
