Mini Gastritis By-Pass

Mini gastric by-pass surgery, which is one of the obesity surgery methods, is also applied for metabolic surgery. It is possible to say that this method is suitable for individuals who want to lose weight in a controlled way and who want to get rid of diseases caused by weight. Since the recovery period after the operation is extremely short, it is much more demanded than other methods.

Mini gastric bypass operation, which is an alternative to sleeve gastrectomy surgery, gives a feeling of fullness by reducing the stomach volume. In this way, patients are helped to achieve weight control in the best way possible.

How is Mini Gastritis By-Pass Operation Operated?

Mini gastritis by-pass operation, while reducing the volume of the stomach, also means the removal of a part of the small intestines. During the completely closed operation, no large incisions are made. It is performed with 5-6 incisions under 1 cm. Through the holes made, surgical instruments are carried into the abdomen. A gastric tube is created at the entrance of the stomach with the cameras used. A large part of the stomach is separated from the smaller part. No organs are removed during the operation. The cut part of the stomach remains in the abdomen and continues to produce its secretions.

To Whom Is Mini Gastric By-Pass Applied?

The most important factor in performing this operation, which is almost a starting point for overweight individuals, is the patient's history. According to the patient's diet and weight history, the doctor decides whether he is suitable for this operation. This operation is recommended for individuals with a body mass index above 50 or those with type 2 diabetes.

It can be applied to individuals who are morbidly obese again by gaining weight years later as sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Tube stomach operation, which is the first stage of mini gastric bypass operation, has already been performed on these patients. Only the second stage, the ligation of the intestines, will be added.

Post-Operation

During the operation, a 2-3-day catheter can be placed in the stomach. This catheter will be removed after 2-3 days. No solid food is consumed in any way after the operation. After the 3rd day, food consumption is started with watery foods.

Then the transition is made to puree and soft foods. Special socks are worn for the legs and feet to prevent blood clots.
