Popis: The use of BioEnterics intragastric balloon (BIB) is progressively increasing, owing to the fact that morbid obesity becomes a global epidemic together with risks of bariatric surgery. Yet, the possible local BIB effect on gastric mucosa is not clearly elucidated. The aim of the current study was to assess the histological changes occurring in the gastric mucosa post-BIB insertion. Gastric mucosa biopsy was obtained from 87 cases of morbid obesity both pre-BIB and 6 months post-BIB insertion to compare the local changes by histological and immunohistochemical analysis. An inflammatory reaction was detected in the post-BIB mucosa which displayed a positive CD20, CD3 (p
