A study was designed in order to determine whether waterfilled intragastric balloons are superior to airfilled balloons for facilitating weight reduction. In the first volunteer the small intestine was obstructed by the dislocated waterfilled balloon. This complication was successfully treated by transabdominal fine needle puncture of the balloon. In contrast to airfilled balloons waterfilled balloons offer two advantages: water does not escape through the very thin wall of the balloon; the intraabdominal location of a waterfilled balloon is easily checked by sonography.
为了确定充水胃内球囊在促进体重减轻方面是否优于充气球囊，设计了一项研究。在第一名志愿者中，移位的充水球囊阻塞了小肠。通过经腹细针穿刺球囊成功治疗了这一并发症。与充气球囊相比，充水球囊有两个优点：水不会从非常薄的球囊壁渗出；通过超声检查很容易确定充水球囊在腹腔内的位置。
