Gastric sleeve surgery, It is an operation that takes between 30 and 60 minutes, in which 75-80% of the stomach is removed and shaped into a tube. This surgery is performed with the laparoscopic (closed) method under general anesthesia. It is performed through 4 0.5 cm and 1 cm holes in the abdominal cavity.
Since a large part of the stomach is removed, the volume of the stomach is reduced, resulting in a feeling of fullness with less food.
The aim is to reduce the amount of food that can be eaten at one time, but does not interfere with the natural flow of the digestive system to reduce absorption.
How is the procedure done?
Gastric sleeve surgery is performed laparoscopically and 4 incisions of half a centimeter are made. The surgical application is made through these small incisions. By cutting the wide part of the stomach, the stomach is reduced by 80% and the stomach is shaped like a banana.
As that the operation is performed laparoscopically reduces the risk of surgical scars, and the patient feels less pain during and after the operation, shortening recovery time.
In addition, to reduce the risk of leaks between sutures that frequently encountered in classic surgeries, in the gastric sleeve the stomach is inflated with a special liquid to verify that this does not happen.
