Title: Selected aspects of intragastric balloon treatment as a method supporting surgical treatment of obesity
Abstract:
Introduction Endoscopic intragastric balloon (IGB) placement is utilized as part of a two-stage treatment protocol for obese patients. Over recent years, there has been a proliferation of literature examining the efficacy of implementing an IGB prior to planned bariatric surgery. A series of studies have been devised to assess various aspects of obesity management involving IGB placement, taking into consideration morphological and physiological alterations in the stomach wall, perioperative and postoperative outcomes. Objective The main aim is to analyze the pathological changes occurring in the stomach wall, which may impact the subsequent surgery. Another objective is to evaluate the impact of the %EWL after IGB treatment on the postoperative %EWL after LSG and on the final %EWL obtained after completion of two-stage treatment. Materials and methods The study parameters were evaluated in a cohort of patients undergoing procedures at the 2nd Department of General Surgery, University Hospital in Kraków 2014-2021. Results. In patients treated with IGB followed by laparoscopic LSG, significant alterations in the stomach wall were observed compared to patients treated in a single stage. The presence of IGB was correlated with thickening of stomach wall layers, submucosal fibrosis and elevated levels of inflammatory markers and tissue growth factors. %EWL following IGB treatment i ; nfluenced %EWL following LSG, and notably, the final %EWL following completion of the two-stage treatment. A case study was presented involving a patient who developed mechanical obstruction of the intestine during IGB treatment.
