Gastric perforation as a complication after BioEnterics intragastric balloon bariatric treatment in obese patients--synergy of endoscopy and videosurgery

Jacek Arkadiusz Smigielski et al. Obes Surg. 2010 Nov.

Abstract

The BioEnterics intragastric balloon (BIB) is one of the most common bariatric procedures in obese patients in Europe. Associated gastric perforation is a rare, yet very dangerous, complication. We report a case of such a complication after BioEnterics intragastric balloon insertion in a 60-year-old female patient and subsequent cooperation between an endoscopist and bariatric videosurgeon in her treatment.
