Sleeve Gastrectomy
(Sleeve Stomach Surgery)
Sleeve Gastrectomy or Gastric Sleeve Surgery is a surgical procedure used in the treatment of obesity. This popular method of weight loss surgery may also be effective in treating diabetes. During the surgery, the stomach is reduced by approximately 80% and a small stomach area is left for the patient to continue feeding. Sleeve Gastrectomy can also be preferred in obese and morbidly obese patients with high BMI, but the decision for surgical intervention is taken based on the patient’s condition and the evaluation of the expert team.
Transit Bipartition
Transit bipartition surgery is a surgical procedure performed on the stomach in obesity patients. In this operation, the stomach is reduced by up to 70%, while the sections of the intestine that allow the absorption of sugar and hormones are also removed. This method, first tried by Santoro in 2012, gave successful results. This surgical procedure, which aims to regulate metabolic syndrome and promote weight loss, involves both restrictive and malabsorptive mechanisms of action and has become a popular option today.
Loop Bipartition
Loop Bipartition is a preferred metabolic surgery method in obesity patients with type 2 diabetes. This method is a surgical method that combines the effects of other surgical procedures such as Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy and Transit Bipartition. After Loop Bipartition surgery, approximately 70% of the stomach is removed and only one-third of the food consumed after surgery is digested and progresses normally. This method helps patients lose weight and manage type 2 diabetes by providing both restrictive and metabolic effects.
Duodenal Switch
It is a metabolic and bariatric surgery method created by combining Duodenal Switch, Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy methods. During this surgery, the stomach is reduced by approximately 80%. After the surgery, only 1 – 2 liters of stomach room remains. Duodenal Switch surgery is a feasible surgical procedure to achieve 70% or more weight loss in patients with high body mass index and especially type 2 diabetes.
Mini Gastric Bypass
Mini Gastric Bypass is one of the fast and economical applications of weight loss surgery and is also known as obesity surgery. One of the biggest advantages of this method is its short operation time and low cost. Mini Gastric Bypass surgery can play an important role in the treatment of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. In this surgical method, while the stomach is reduced, the part of the small intestine that absorbs food is also replaced or removed, thus providing positive effects on both the digestive system and metabolism.
Gastric Balloon
Mini Gastric Balloon is a simple weight loss surgery method used especially in the treatment of obesity. Surgical intervention takes approximately 15 – 20 minutes and the patient can usually return to normal life on the same day. In this method, the patient’s stomach volume is significantly reduced and food intake is restricted, which promotes weight loss. After gastric balloon surgery, patients usually lose 6 to 8 kilos. The balloon is placed in the patient’s stomach through a simple surgical procedure and usually remains there for 6 to 12 months. Removing the balloon is also a simple procedure; It is removed from the patient’s stomach in about 10 minutes.
