LAPAROSCOPIC TUBE STOMACH SURGERY
Sleeve gastrectomy
One of the surgical interventions applied to support weight loss today is sleeve gastrectomy surgery. It is also known as "stomach reduction surgery" among the people. Gastric sleeve surgery, which is applied to restrict the food intake of the stomach and is preferred as the first step of losing weight, has the effect of reducing the food absorption of the stomach, albeit at a low level.
As a result, people who have gastric sleeve surgery naturally decrease their appetite, and before weight loss occurs, metabolic insulin resistance is broken and it remains at normal levels, providing convenience in the diet.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy; Obesity surgery operations performed by the closed method, that is, without opening the abdomen, with the help of a camera, by entering the abdominal cavity through a single or several 1 cm holes. Gastric reduction is the most commonly performed laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, but gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass, SADI-s, and duodenal switch surgeries are also laparoscopic obesity surgeries. Sleeve gastrectomy is frequently preferred by obesity surgeons due to its shorter duration and lower complication rates compared to other laparoscopic bariatric surgeries.
