Some morbidities have been reported in the literature, but it is limited. Esophageal perforation is the most feared complication of the procedure. Although endoscopic stent placement can be chosen as a treatment option in stable patients, most of the patients are treated with surgical drainage and primary repair [2]. We report an unusual case of intragastric balloon placement complicated with esophageal perforation which was successfully treated with a surgical approach after late referral.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTıpDahili Tıp Bilimleriİç HastalıklarıEndokrinoloji ve Metabolizma HastalıklarıCerrahi Tıp BilimleriBeslenme ve DietetikTarımsal BilimlerZiraatSağlık BilimleriMedicineInternal Medicine SciencesInternal DiseasesEndocrinology and Metabolic DiseasesSurgery Medicine SciencesNutrition and DieteticsAgricultural SciencesAgricultureHealth SciencesTarım ve Çevre Bilimleri (AGE)Klinik Tıp (MED)Tarım BilimleriKlinik TıpBESLENME VE DİYETETİKCERRAHİENDOKRİNOLOJİ VE METABOLİZMAAgriculture & Environment Sciences (AGE)Clinical Medicine (MED)AGRICULTURAL SCIENCESCLINICAL MEDICINENUTRITION & DIETETICSSURGERYENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISMCerrahiEndokrinoloji, Diyabet ve MetabolizmaBeslenme ve DiyetetikSurgeryEndocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolismarticle10.1007/s11695-023-06929-0
