Both ESG and intragastric balloons (IGBs) have demonstrated effectiveness and safety for weight loss.

Our aim was to conduct a pairwise meta-analysis of comparative studies directly comparing ESG and IGB.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We systematically conducted a literature search on PubMed and Google Scholar following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
