Gastric Sleeve Turkey

Gastric sleeve operation is the process of surgically removing 80% of the stomach and bringing it to a very small size. With this method, which is frequently preferred in the treatment of obesity, it is possible to lose weight permanently and quickly and to get rid of obesity.

In individuals with obesity problems, the stomach is usually stretched and gained a very large volume. This leads to consuming more nutrients than the body needs. The stomach is an organ that can expand up to 3 times due to its structure. By taking advantage of this feature of the stomach, gastric sleeve method can be preferred in individuals who into the obesity class. While small portions are consumed at first, the individual’s stomach gains a normal size over time, and weight control can be maintained for a lifetime.

However, the individual needs to pay attention to what he or she eats throughout the life. This is valid for the entire post-bariatric surgery period. Otherwise, the stomach can be restored to its pre-operative state. What should not be worried about is that the appetite is much lower after the surgery than before, and the stomach immediately sends a signal of satiety to the brain with less food. This shows that the operation is not only effective on volume and appetite, but also on hormones.

Gastric Sleeve Process – How is The Operation Performed?

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and is performed with the laparoscopic surgical technique. For this, one small incision is made or 4-5 mini incisions are created. A large part of the stomach is removed and reshaped with a camera and special surgical instruments through these incisions, with the abdomen closed.

Calibration tube is placed equal to the diameter of the esophagus in order to prevent the stomach from being reduced too much. In this way, the stomach and the esophagus will have the same diameter and there will be no problems such as congestion or excessive narrowing.

After the stitching of the stomach is completed, the calibration tube and the excess piece are removed. Before completing the operation, the surgeon checks for leaks anywhere in the stomach. Similar tests can be repeated after surgery.

Which surgical instruments are we using for bariatric surgeries?

Covidien and Ethicon Staplers

Covidien and Ethicon brand staplers are instruments that are frequently used by our clinic in bariatric surgery treatments such as gastric sleeve and gastric bypass. Thanks to these instruments, the volume of the stomach can be easily reduced by using the laparoscopy method and a part of the small intestine can be bypassed.

Staplers used in the laparoscopy method, which is the most reliable surgical method in terms of infection, ensure that a certain part of the stomach is cut and reshaped to the same diameter as the intestine and that the most absorbent part of the small intestine with the stomach is bypassed and the nutrients pass directly from the stomach to the part of the small intestine close to the large intestine.

Why Do We Use Staples?

  • Staplers ensure that the surgery is handled in the most reliable way in terms of infection.
  • Thanks to these tools with stapling ability, after the stomach is cut, it is sutured again so that there is not the slightest hole. In this way, there is no leakage from the stomach contents into the abdominal cavity.
  • It allows the operations to be performed faster and more practically.
  • They are the latest technological tools. The operation is performed on the internal organs without touching the hands of the doctors.
  • They are produced using tissue-friendly materials.
  • It does not have any health-threatening features.
