Abstract
Obesity is a serious disease, with an increasing incidence also among subjects over 60 years old; surgical management has proven to be the most effective in the production of significant and durable weight loss. Intragastric balloon (IGB) treatment, promotes a reduction of five to nine body mass index (BMI) units in 6 months with an impressive improvement of obesity-associated comorbidities.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
