Popular Bariatric and Metabolic Surgeries in Turkey
Sleeve Gastrectomy
In a tubing operation which is often referred to as a sleeve resection or sleeve gastrectomy, the surgeon removes a part of the organ. As a result, the stomach is reduced by about 80-90 %. The remaining tubular residual stomach (2-3 cm) then has a new gastric volume of approximately 85-150 ml. In comparison: An ordinary stomach holds 2-3 liters. Because of the lower capacity of the tubular stomach, the patient not only eats less, due to the rapid elongation of the stomach wall, he feels prematurely saturated, too. But, the general aim of the gastric reduction is the removal of the large stomach of engraving, in which the gastrointestinal hormones, the so-called hunger hormones such as ghrelin, are produced. For this reason, in Turkey the gastric sleeve surgery is often referred to as a “metabolic surgery”, because by means of this technique, the appetite is also restrained. Furthermore, such a restrictive gastric surgery leads to significant improvements in patients who suffer from diabetes.
Gastric Balloon
The gastric balloon is an oval capsule, which could either be swallowed or ambulatory inserted by gastroscopy. The gastric balloon is then filled with air, gas or saline solution by your medicine in Turkey. The procedure needs approximately 30 minutes, so that the patient can leave the ward on the same day. With the help of the capsule placed in the stomach, a faster saturation feeling should be achieved, which is used as a preventive measure in the dietary change. Since the balloon is floating on the food, special sensors signaling the brain that the stomach is filled more quickly, and on the other, a closure of the gastric output is prevented. To avoid risks, the gastric balloon is removed after 3-6 months. Otherwise, there is the likelihood that potential skin irritation of the gastric mucosa and associated abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting are the result.
Gastric Bypass
The most common variant of the bypass techniques in Turkey is the so-called gastric bypass. The laparoscopic procedure and the keyhole surgical method are used to reduce the gastric volume to approximately 15-20 ml. In general, the small intestine is thus shortened by the bypass operation techniques, that the absorption of carbohydrates and fats are lowered. This has not only a positive effect on your weight loss, it will also influence you to restructure the eating and living habits.
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band
Through the use of a gastric band which is placed around the upper part of the stomach, two parts are formed: a first and a main stomach. Thus, both the amount of food as well as the caloric supply can be minimized. This minimally invasive procedure is performed by your specialist surgeon in Turkey laparoscopically and using the keyhole surgical method. With appropriate dietary change and with some discipline it will be possible to lose up to ½ Kilograms per week!
