Intragastric balloons are steadily gaining popularity among the
medical treatments available for obesity. Their efficacy and safety
are reinforced by growing body of evidence obtained around the
globe. Intragastric balloons are now considered one of the safest
and most effective medical procedures for weight reduction.
Additionally, the reduced potential for side effects and low
invasiveness (compared to bariatric surgeries) are important
considerations. This book is edited by renowned surgeons and
endoscopists from Brazil, a country known for its reputation on the
field of bariatric endoscopy and surgery. Such reputation is
especially valid where the use of intragastric balloons is
concerned. These devices, approved by the FDA only in 2015, have
been used in Brazil since the 1990s, attesting to Brazilian
expertise in the field. This book describes the various types of
intragastric balloons used for the treatment of obesity, an
alternative to bariatric surgery and other more invasive methods.
It addresses their indications, procedures and outcomes, providing
readers an overview of the therapeutic options available worldwide.
It is divided into seven main sections: I - Introductory Issues; II
- Devices; III - Technical Procedures and Related Issues; IV -
Acute Complications and Treatment; V - Chronic Complications and
Treatment; VI - Special Populations; and VII - Miscellaneous. This
structure helps to promote a better knowledge construction and a
reasonable flow of ideas throughout the book, guiding the reader
from introductory topics to surgical procedures and complications.
The book ultimately intends to offer an essential reference guide
for all physicians and surgeons interested in the treatment of
obese patients. It is intended for both experienced professionals
looking for in-depth information and for trainees and residents
seeking to broaden their perspectives concerning the treatment of
obesity.
