Abstract

Aim: In our study, it was aimed to compare the results of adjustable intragastric balloons in patients according to body mass index.
Material and Method: We recorded the data of 82 patients that we performed AIGB procedure in the last four years. During the initial implantation of the balloon, inflating was performed with 300-350 cc saline and methylene blue. Body mass index values and excess weight loss ratios of the patients at the time of the balloon removal were noted. Patients' complaints and complications arising after balloon application or additional inflation were reported.
Results: It was determined that there was a statistically significant decrease between weight, BMI, and EWL values measured at the 4th, 8th, and 12th months after the first application was performed (p <0.001). The weight and EWL values were evaluated in two groups as morbidly obese (BMI ≥40) and patients with BMI <40.İt was determined that there was a statistically significant decrease in weight and EWL values in both groups depending on time (p <0.001), in further analysis, the difference between the 8th and 12th months for EWL values was not statistically significant (p>0.05) in morbidly obese patients (BMI≥40), all other differences were statistically significant (p<0.001).
Conclusion: AIGB treatment has satisfactory results in morbidly obese patients. In morbidly obese patients. AIGB may be preferred as an alternative non-surgical method that can be used for weight loss in cases where surgery may carry risk due to co-morbidities or when patients do not prefer surgery.

Vücut Kitle İndeksi değerlerine göre ayarlanabilir intragastrik balon kullanım sonuçları

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızda hastalarda ayarlanabilir intragastrik balonların sonuçlarının vücut kitle indeksine göre karşılaştırılması amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Son dört yılda AIGB işlemi yaptığımız 82 hastanın verilerini kaydettik. Balonun ilk implantasyonu sırasında 300-350 cc salin ve metilen mavisi ile şişirme yapıldı. Hastaların ve balonun çıkarıldığı anki vücut kitle indeks değerleri(VKİ) ve kilo verme oranları(EWL) not edildi. Hastaların balon uygulaması veya ek şişirme sonrası oluşan şikayetleri ve komplikasyonları kaydedildi.
Bulgular: VKİ ve EWL değerleri arasında ilk uygulama yapıldıktan sonra 4., 8. ve 12. aylarda ölçülen kilolarla istatistiksel olarak anlamlı azalma olduğu belirlendi., (p<0,001). Ağırlık ve EWL değerleri morbid obez (VKİ ≥40) ve VKİ <40 olan hastalar olmak üzere iki grupta değerlendirildi. Her iki grupta da zamana bağlı olarak ağırlık ve EWL değerlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı azalma olduğu belirlendi (p<0,001). İleri analizde, morbid obez hastalarda (BMI≥40) EWL değerleri için 8. ve 12. aylar arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p>0.05), diğer tüm farklılıklar istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p<0.001).
Sonuç: AIGB tedavisi morbid obez hastalarda tatmin edici sonuçlara sahiptir. Morbid obez hastalarda. AIGB, cerrahinin ek hastalıklar nedeniyle risk taşıyabileceği veya hastaların cerrahiyi tercih etmediği durumlarda kilo vermek için kullanılabilecek cerrahi olmayan alternatif bir yöntem olarak tercih edilebilir.
