The invention relates to an intragastric balloon assembly. The invention combines three medico-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 that prevents the migration of the balloon. The inventive intragastric balloon assembly comprises a silicon balloon which is provided with a fixed inflation catheter and an attachment consisting of a silicon 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.
La présente invention allie trois éléments médicamenteux chirurgicaux à savoir un ballonnet intragastrique, une valve de commande du gonflement post-opératoire et la technique de gastrotomie percutanée à commande endoscopique ainsi que des moyens innovateurs permettant de fixer l'ensemble, ce qui évite la migration du ballonnet. L'ensemble ballonnet intragastrique de cette invention comprend un ballonnet de silicone, présentant un cathéter de gonflement fixe et un supplément formé d'une barre de silicone plus ferme à l'entrée du ballonnet, laquelle sert de support de tension et est fixée à l'aponévrose au moyen d'une plaque réglable selon les besoins, laquelle peut être fixée avec des points de suture ou des agrafes métalliques à l'aponévrose. Une fois lesdits éléments attachés, on découpe le support et le cathéter est connecté à une valve de gonflement, laquelle est placée sous la peau et est fixée avec des points de suture ou des agrafes à l'aponévrose.
