Both ESG and intragastric balloons (IGBs) have demonstrated effectiveness and safety for weight loss. However, there is a paucity of high-quality evidence supporting the superiority of one over the other, and no pairwise meta-analysis of comparative studies has been published to date. 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. Our search used specific search terms. The Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) Tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. Data were analyzed using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.4.1 software with a random-effects model. The statistical method used was the Mantel-Haenszel method.

We advocate for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) directly comparing the newer IGB (with a 12-mo placement duration) with ESG. However, this study consistently reveals higher rates of early reintervention (re-endoscopy) within the IGB group, primarily necessitated by the removal or adjustment of the IGB due to intolerance.
