INTRAGASTRIC BALLOON REMOVAL: MANY SOLUTIONS IN ONE CASE

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video showcases the removal of an intragastric balloon in a difficult case. The patient, a 70-year-old female, had a successful weight loss of 20% with no symptoms. Multiple techniques were used in the removal process. Initially, balloon removal forceps were used, followed by puncturing and aspirating the balloon's contents. Mineral oil was then inserted to aid in removal. Special forceps were utilized to grab and pull the balloon out through the cardia and esophagus. A snare was also used in subsequent attempts to grab and remove the balloon. The procedure concluded with an endoscopic revision and new flex vision to ensure proper examination.
