• Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve Surgery)

Sleeve gastrektomi olarak da bilinen tüp mide ameliyatı işlemi mide yapısının küçültülme işlemidir. Yaklaşık olarak mide yapısının %80’lik kadar kısmı çıkartılmaktadır. Bu yapı kesildikten sonra muz ve tüp şeklini aldığı için tüp mide ameliyatı olarak da geçmektedir. Bu yöntem sayesinde mide hacmi küçültülmesi sayesinde besin alımı en aza indirgenmektedir. Hastalar daha az besin ile tokluk hissi kazanır aynı zamanda daha az besin alınımı sayesinde fazla kilolardan kurtulmuş olmaktadır.

Vitamin and mineral balance is not affected. The risk is lower compared to bypass surgery. The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is performed using state-of-the-art equipment. The surgery, which involves 4-5 incisions on the body, results in a quick and comfortable healing process for both wounds and stitches.

• What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is one of the frequently used methods in obesity surgeries. This method is notable for its successful results. Thanks to the operation, the stomach is reduced in size, and nutrient absorption is reduced by shortening the passage of food through the intestines.

The initial portions of the patient's stomach are separated from the rest, leaving 30-60 cc. A section of the small intestine is bypassed and integrated into the smaller stomach. This allows patients to experience satiety more quickly with smaller portions.

• What is Minigastric Bypass Surgery?

In this procedure, the stomach is also reduced in size and integrated into the small intestine, but no partitioning is performed on the intestinal structure. This results in a single procedure for the patient. It is a more effective method than gastric bypass surgery. Following this surgery, some patients experience symptoms such as reflux.

• Gastric Sleeve and Small Intestine Bypass Procedure

In this method, the stomach is transformed into a tube-like structure while a significant portion of the small intestine is bypassed. The resulting stomach is then attached to its outlet. It has a significant weight-loss effect. However, this procedure can lead to problems such as nutritional deficiencies.
