Despite the recognition of bariatric surgery as the only effective method of weight reduction, we remain in search of minimally invasive methods, both for the treatment of obesity and preparation of patients for surgical procedures.The aim of the study was to determine intragastric balloon (Allergan) implantation results as the only method of treating obesity, and patient preparation for further stages of abdominal hernia operations, as well as other surgical procedures.Material and methods. The study presented own results considering the use of Bioenteric Intragastric Balloons (BIB system) in the treatment of pathological obesity, and preparation of patients for bariatric surgery and abdominal hernia operations. The study group comprised 18 female and 7 male patients. Average patient age amounted to 50.6 and 54 years, respectively. Indications for intragastric balloon insertion were as follows: preparation for hernia (10 cases) and bariatric (5 patients) operations, and weight reduction management (8 patients). In two cases the implantation of the intragastric balloon served the preparation for gynecological and orthopedic (vertebral column) operations. One female patient was prepared for both bariatric and hernial surgery. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia. Statistical analysis considered 22 patients (one female patient was excluded from analysis, due to death, two other were excluded because of lack of sufficient data).Results. In case of two patients the intragastric balloon system was removed before 6 months had elapsed because of intolerance. One female patient died during the observation period for reasons not related to the procedure. The obtained BMI reduction ranged between 2 and 6 kg/m2, which amounted to a maximum weight loss of 24 kg. In one patient a weight gain of 2 kg was observed. Considering patients prepared for abdominal hernia operations weight reduction was greater and better maintained after the removal of the BIB system.Conclusions. According to the authors of the presented study the intragastric balloon serves its role as a bridge to bariatric procedures and weight reduction, before planned extensive postoperative hernia operations. The use of the intragastric balloon only to reduce weight has no medical and economic justification.

INTRODUCTION: Morbid obesity and its accompanying multimorbidity constitute a significant public health problem. AIM: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of endoscopic implantation of an intragastric balloon on the ailments and associated diseases in people with obesity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 75 people treated by intragastric balloon implantation. The sample selection was purposeful. The patients were qualified for balloon implantation, according to recognized indications for the endoscopic treatment of obesity. All the analyses were performed using Statistica 12. Results for which p < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. RESULTS: Positive effects of the treatment of obesity by intragastric balloon implantation in relation to comorbidities were observed in 54 patients (62%), 30 people (40%) achieved minimal health improvement, the regression of one serious disease and alleviation others in 24 patients (32%). 21 patients (28%) had no improvement in their health status. None of the patients reported the resolution of all major diseases, but there was also no deterioration in the health of any patient. There was a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, spinal pain, osteoarthritis, sleep apnoea, menstrual disorders, impotence and dyspnoea during IGB treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment by endoscopic implantation of an intragastric balloon alleviates the course or reduces the incidence of concomitant diseases in persons with morbid obesity.

WSTĘP: Otyłość olbrzymia i towarzysząca jej wielochorobowość stanowią poważny problem zdrowia publicznego. CEL: Celem pracy jest ocena wpływu endoskopowej implantacji balonu wewnątrzżołądkowego na dolegliwości i choroby towarzyszące u osób z otyłością. MATERIAŁ I METODY: Badaniem objęto 75 osób leczonych metodą implantacji balonu wewnątrzżołądkowego. Pacjenci zostali zakwalifikowani do implantacji balonu, zgodnie z uznanymi wskazaniami do endoskopowego leczenia otyłości. Wszystkie analizy przeprowadzono za pomocą Statistica 12. Za poziom istotności statystycznej przyjęto p < 0,05. WYNIKI: Pozytywne efekty leczenia otyłości metodą implantacji balonu wewnątrzżołądkowego w odniesieniu do współistniejących chorób zaobserwowano u 54 pacjentów (62%), 30 osób (40%) osiągnęło minimalną poprawę stanu zdrowia, u 24 pacjentów (32%) ustąpiło co najmniej jedno zasadnicze schorzenie. 21 pacjentów (28%) nie wskazywało poprawy stanu zdrowia. Żaden z pacjentów nie zgłosił ustąpienia wszystkich głównych chorób, ale również nie nastąpiło pogorszenie stanu zdrowia. Podczas leczenia IGB stwierdzono statystycznie istotne zmniejszenie występowania nadciśnienia, cukrzycy typu 2, bólu kręgosłupa, choroby zwyrodnieniowej stawów, bezdechu sennego, zaburzeń miesiączkowania, impotencji i duszności. WNIOSKI: Leczenie otyłości metodą endoskopowej implantacji balonu wewnątrzżołądkowgo zmniejsza częstość współistniejących chorób u osób z otyłością olbrzymią.
