Core Tip	Intragastric balloons have played a significant role in the management of obesity. Their easy application, reversibility and good short-term results have led to the development of a wide variety of balloon types. However, long-term results are not as good, and concerns about complications have also arisen. We tried to analyze the characteristics and effectiveness of the 6 most popular balloon types, in order to provide guidance in choosing the most appropriate balloon for each patient.
