Balloon Placement & Deflation – Safe Gastrology Surgery for Stomach Balloon Therapy

Introduction to Balloon Placement & Deflation

Balloon placement and deflation is a minimally invasive gastroenterology procedure used to manage obesity. A soft, expandable balloon is placed inside the stomach through endoscopy and later deflated and removed after the treatment duration. It helps patients reduce weight by limiting food intake and promoting early satiety.

Technique of Controlled Balloon Management

The procedure begins with endoscopic insertion of a deflated balloon through the mouth into the stomach. Once positioned, it is filled with sterile saline or gas to occupy space inside the stomach. This reduces food capacity and helps modify eating behaviour. After the therapy period, the balloon is safely deflated and removed endoscopically. Specialized endoscopy tools ensure safe placement and retrieval. The method is reversible, adjustable, and avoids surgical cuts.

Why It’s Done?

• To support weight loss in obese patients not responding to diet or exercise.
• For patients who are not eligible or ready for bariatric surgery.
• To improve obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
• As a temporary weight-loss tool before major surgery to lower surgical risks.
