The use of inflatable intragastric balloons is a new non-intensive approach in the treatment of obesity when poor results are obtained by more conservative treatment. The intragastric balloons are certainly less hazardous than bariatric surgery but their long term effect on body-weight reduction it is not still proved. Several types of balloons are currently in use. The two used most widely are the Garren-Edwards Gastric Bubble and the Ballobes Balloon. The Authors report their experience with these two types of anti-obesity gastric-balloon in 60 grossly obese patients.
当采用更为保守的治疗方法效果不佳时，使用可充气胃内球囊是治疗肥胖症的一种新的非强化方法。胃内球囊的危险性肯定低于减肥手术，但其对体重减轻的长期效果尚未得到证实。目前使用的球囊有几种类型。使用最广泛的两种是加伦-爱德华兹胃气泡球囊和巴洛贝斯球囊。作者报告了他们在60例严重肥胖患者中使用这两种抗肥胖胃球囊的经验。
