Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery - Emsey Hospital
Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical procedure for weight loss in which a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving behind a smaller "sleeve" or tube-shaped stomach. The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, meaning through small incisions in the abdomen using a camera and specialized instruments.
During a sleeve gastrectomy, the surgeon removes approximately 75-80% of the stomach, leaving a smaller stomach that can hold less food. The procedure also removes the portion of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone ghrelin, which can help to reduce feelings of hunger and promote weight loss.
Sleeve gastrectomy can lead to significant weight loss and improvement in weight-related health problems. However, like all surgical procedures, it does come with risks, such as bleeding, infection, and complications related to anesthesia. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of sleeve gastrectomy with a qualified healthcare provider before deciding if the procedure is right for you.
Certain conditions must be met by the patient for surgical intervention. The patient's BMI is calculated to determine if they have a suitable index for the surgery. Additionally, the use of medications and the presence of comorbidities are important for making the decision about the surgery.
