Gastric sleeve: the scarless stomach reduction
Gastric sleeve surgery is the surgical weight-loss procedure that has seen the most worldwide growth over the last five years. It reduces the stomach is reduced so that the patient feels full after eating small or moderate amounts of food, which enables weight loss.
The weight loss is due to two mechanisms: the restrictive mechanism reduces the stomach’s volume and capacity to hold food and patients eat less because they have a smaller appetite due to a hormonal mechanism. In this article below, highly distinguished general surgeon, Mr Parv Sains, provides more of a detailed insight into the surgery.
Can gastric sleeve surgery be performed laparoscopically?
Depending on the characteristics of each patient, the surgery can be performed through a conventional laparoscopy (keyhole operation) with five mini incisions or single-incision assisted laparoscopic surgery, which is carried out by making a single umbilical incision, leaving an almost unnoticeable scar. The operation takes about 60 minutes and because no joint or bypass is performed on the intestines, potential complications and risks are limited.
Who is this technique suitable for?
There are no absolute indications and each patient should be studied by a qualified professional who will establish the best surgical treatment to combat their obesity. Some clinics use the following guidelines for patients who are candidates for gastric sleeve surgery:
- Patients older than 50 years and those who have a BMI (Body Mass Index) greater than 50kg/m2.
- Patients between 20 and 50 years of age, with a BMI between 35 and 50kg/m2
- Patients with conditions associated with obesity (diabetes, hypertension, increased cholesterol, heart or respiratory diseases).
