With an intragastric balloon. It is introduced using an endoscope into the stomach and under the supervision of a microvideo chamber, it is filled with saline with a medical pigment for timely control of leaks. When the required volume (600-700 ml) is reached, close the valve and remove the probe. Everything about everything takes 30 minutes, a mini operation is carried out under medical sleep.
– The patient experiences discomfort only for the first week, but for relief we prescribe anti-emetic medicines, then the body is adjusted, – said the head of the endoscopy department of our hospital Shokan Sekerbekov, – At first, semi-liquid pureed food is recommended, intense physical exertion should be avoided during the day. All six months, while the balloon is standing, the brain is deceived and a person, due to the feeling of fullness of the stomach, eats no more than 1,500 kcal per day, which are physiologically necessary for energy. Otherwise, the lifestyle does not change.
A record result in the practice of a doctor is 42 kg in six months, mostly women go for it, men are brought by the hand of their wife. By the way, another rare ERCP procedure for our medicine is carried out in the department. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, used to examine and simultaneously treat diseases of the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts with an endoscope and X-ray. It allows doctors during diagnosis to immediately remove stones, expand narrowed sections of the ducts, install stents and find tumors.
This technique is actively used in Europe and Russia. The doctor worked for seven years at the I. Pavlov St. Petersburg University. So the hand is already stuffed.
