摘要

The invention relates to an intragastric balloon assembly. The invention combines three medical-surgical elements namely, i) an intragastric balloon; ii) a valve for regulating postoperative inflation and the percutaneous gastronomy technique with endoscopic control, and iii) a novel means for fixing the assembly comprises a silicon ballon which is provided with a fixing inflation catheter and an attachment consisting of a silicone tube, which is bigger at the balloon inlet. Said silicon tube acts as a tension support and is fixed to the aponeurosis by means of a plate that can be adjusted as required, said adjustable plate being secured to the aponeurosis with suture points or metal clips. Once said elements have been secured, the support is cut and the catheter is connected to an inflation valve, which is placed under the skin and which is secured to the aponeurosis with points or clips.
