The intragastric balloon system is licensed for temporary use in moderately obese patients who have significant health risks related to their obesity and have failed to achieve and maintain significant weight loss with a supervised weight control program alone. Although intragastric balloons are advocated as safe devices, major complications have been described. We report a case of a gastric perforation during the removal of an intragastric balloon. This is the first case reported in the literature.
胃内球囊系统已获许可,可临时用于患有与肥胖相关的重大健康风险且仅通过监督性体重控制计划未能实现并维持显著体重减轻的中度肥胖患者。尽管胃内球囊被认为是安全的装置,但仍有严重并发症的报道。我们报告一例在取出胃内球囊过程中发生胃穿孔的病例。这是文献中报道的首例病例。
