Tube Stomach Surgery – Sleeve Gastrectomy
Tube Stomach – It is the cutting of the stomach along the long axis of the stomach during surgery and turning it into a tube. Thus, the stomach, which can grow to a volume of 1500cc when eaten before, can only take one tenth of that after the operation. It is the most known method in Bariatric Surgery.
Stomach By-Pass
It is also one of the most frequently performed Bariatric Surgeries. First, the stomach is cut to leave a volume of 30-40 cc. Then the small intestine is cut about 1 meter and connected to the prepared stomach. The upper end of the intestine is sewn 1 m away from this connection. Thus, a new pathway is opened for bile produced in the liver.
Mini Bypass
In this surgery, the stomach is made into a thin tube. The small intestines, on the other hand, are added to the newly formed thin stomach at a distance of about 2 meters from the place where it connects to the stomach. The stomach volume that can be used after cutting is approximately 80-90 cc. After the operation, the patient can eat a very small amount of food. Since the small intestine is connected 2 meters away, some of the food eaten cannot be absorbed. In this way, weight is lost.
Combined Surgery
It has been the most preferred method for the last two years. It is performed by fusing two different obesity surgeries. Thus, while the benefit from the surgery is maximized, the risks are minimized.
