Method of installation

Although balloon installation is not an operation but an endoscopic procedure, it is usually performed under general anaesthesia. The balloon is inserted empty into the stomach through the mouth and the oesophagus. Its correct position is confirmed by endoscopy; an inflation system is attached and saline solution added. After complete inflation (usually 500 cc) the catheter is removed from the balloon valve, which automatically closes.
