Question 1

How Is Sleeve Gastrectomy Performed?

Accepted Answer

The the first option is to perform it laparoscopically through general anesthesia. The inside of the abdomen is evaluated by entering 0.5-1 cm from the abdominal wall through the first openings with a camera and micro-instruments. By adjusting the stomach volume with a calibration tube, specially developed disposable stapling materials are used and a new stomach volume is created. After bleeding and leakage control, second row sutures are placed to reduce the possibility of possible complications.

Question 2

How Long Does Sleeve Gastrectomy Take?

Accepted Answer

Although the duration of the operation varies according to the anatomical structure of the patient, the duration of the operation varies between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours. However, the time to return to the service bed with pre-operative preparations and post-anaesthetic recovery is 2.5 to 3 hours. Patients generally do not need intensive care after the standard procedure. However, if necessary, close follow-up in the intensive care unit for one night may be appropriate in patients with co-morbid health problems. The patient can get out of bed four to six hours after returning to the service bed and is able to meet their basic needs. Complaints such as pain, nausea and spasm on the day of surgery can be controlled with intravenous drugs.

Question 3

How Does Sleeve Gastrectomy Work?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

What Are The Risks Of Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Accepted Answer

If it goes untreated, obesity is a predisposing factor for over 70 co-morbidities, including cancer. When the patient achieves effective weight control with bariatric surgery existing health conditions recover, and possible health problems are prevented.
Bleeding is the most common problem that can occur after Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery. However, the use of a hose called a drain, which evacuates blood and fluids, helps to follow up of possible bleeding. With early intervention, treatment can be provided with serum and blood supplementation.
The risk of embolism, intravascular coagulation, increases more after bariatric surgery than all surgeries. Therefore, blood thinner needle therapy before and after the surgery and stockings and compression devices preventing clot formation in the surgery are used.
Gastric staple line leaks are potentially risky problems, and they are one of the most frequently asked health conditions. In case of leakage, the patient has abdominal pain, fever, chills, palpitations, and general condition deterioration. If it is detected, it ensures early intervention and short treatment time. To prevent it, a leak test is performed during and after the operation, the second row of stitches is placed on the staple line, and if there is a concomitant disease or medicine that increases the possibility of leakage and impairs wound healing, staple line strengthening material is used.

Portion restriction and attention to solid-liquid separation are essential.
