Abstract

Background/aims: During removal of intragastric balloon, there is a great deal of gastric undigested food even after an eight-ho- ur starvation. Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme existing in the pineapple juice seems to be a good choice for the undigested food rem- nants in the stomach. We aimed to investigate the effect of drinking pineapple juice on dissolving food remnants in patients under- going endoscopic procedure for removal of intragastric balloon. Materials and Method: In this study, we included patients who had undergone endoscopic placement of intragastric balloon (BIB®, BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon, Inamed Health, CA, USA) between February 2009 and March 2012. First 8 patients were asked to fast the whole night before the procedure (at least 8 hours) and to apply clear liquid diet for 3 days before the endoscopic removal. A great amount of food remnants was seen in the stomach during the endoscopic balloon removal procedure. A second endoscopic procedure was planned 3 days later and, in order to decrea- se the food remnants, the patients were asked to drink 1 L pineapple juice per day. The next 11 patients were also advised to drink 1 liter per day of 100% pineapple juice for 3 days before the endoscopic removal. Results: Totally, 19 obese patients (17 female, 2 male) were included in the study. Mean age was 38,68±7,95 years, mean weigh was 124,23±19,30 kg, and mean body mass index was 49,73±9,22 kg/m2. There was undigested food in the stomach during endoscopic removal in the first 8 patients. However, no undigested food in the stomach was found at the second endoscopic examination. In the other 11 patients, no food remnants were observed after taking pineapple juice prior to the endoscopic removal procedure. Conclusion: Drinking pineapple juice for 3 days before endoscopic balloon removal seems to be effective in dissolving food remnants in the stomach. Drinking pineapple juice may be recommended in all patients undergoing endoscopic procedure for removal of intragastric balloon.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: İntragastrik balonun çıkarılması sırasında, sekiz saatlik açlığa rağmen midede oldukça fazla sindirilmemiş gıda artıkları bulunmaktadır. Ananas suyunda, sindirilmemiş gıdalar üzerine etkili olduğu bilinen bromelain adı verilen proteolitik bir enzim bulunur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, intragastrik balon çıkarılması esnasında karşılaşılan sindirilmemiş gıdalar üzerine ananas suyunun etkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Şubat 2009 ve Mart 2012 tarihleri arasında intragastrik balon tedavisi uygu- lanan hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Rutin sekiz saatlik açlık ve üç günlük sıvı diyete rağmen ilk 8 hastada, midede oldukça faz- la katı gıda gözlendi ve bu hastalara endoskopiden üç gün önce ananas suyu (günde 1 Lt) içmeleri önerilerek ikinci endoskopi ya- pıldığında midede hiç gıda izlenmedi. Sonraki 11 hastaya direkt olarak mide balonu çıkarma işleminden üç gün önce ananas su- yu içmeleri söylendi ve mide tamamen boş iken intragastrik balon çıkarıldı. Bulgular: 19 obez hasta (17 kadın, 2 erkek) çalışma- ya dahil edildi. Ortalama yaş 38,68±7,95, ortalama kilo 124,23±19,30, ortalama vücut kitle indeksi 49,73±9,22 kg/m2idi. İntra- gastrik balon çıkarılması esnasında ilk 8 hastada midede sindirilmemiş gıdalar izlendi, bu hastaların ananas suyu içtikten sonra yapılan ikinci endoskopilerinde ve sonraki 11 hastada midede hiç katı gıda yoktu. Sonuç: İntragastrik balon çıkarılırken tüm has- talara üç gün öncesinden ananas suyu içmeleri önerilir. Endoskopik balon çıkarma işleminden 3 gün evvel ananas suyu içilmesi midedeki sindirilmemiş gıdalar üzerine etkili görünmektedir.
