Abstract:
Use of a BioEnterics intragastric balloon is a noninvasive,repeatable,low-cost,and safe method that can help in weight reduction. Injection of substances such as saline or air into a part of the stomach leads to a reduction in food intake and delays gastric emptying.This article aims to introduce the clinical application of different types of balloons and summarize the progress in treating obesity.
