Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve Gastrectomy

In this method, we remove the outer 2/3 of the stomach with special stapler devices that make closure and cutting and create a 150-200 cc volume stomach.

This is a procedure that restricts food intake. By reducing food intake, we enable you to get rid of your excess weight. At the same time, since we remove the hormone gherelin, which is the hormone that provides appetite, from the body, we provide a decrease in appetite. You usually lose 50-60% of your excess weight in the first 6 months. After this surgery, your diet is adjusted by the dietician.

Is there a risk with the surgery?

Every surgery has its own risks. In this surgery, we remove 2/3 of the stomach with devices called staplers and make a small stomach. 0.5% risk of leakage from the stapler line can occur worldwide.

What measures do we take to prevent this risk?

We use the highest quality staplers for this process. We support the stapler line with special sutures. We inject methylene blue water into the stomach and control this line.
