Principle of gastric reduction surgery:
Gastric reduction surgery is a type of weight loss surgery. The effect of gastric reduction surgery is somewhere between gastric bypass and gastric banding. The full procedure only takes about an hour and is less invasive, quicker to recover and less risky. Gastric reduction surgery is performed by cutting out the greater curvature of the stomach vertically using a laparoscope to create a small stomach pouch of about 150cc, which can hold about 4-5 ounces of food, thus reducing the amount of appetite hormones secreted to decrease the patient's appetite. At this same time change the direction of food flow, no longer through the lower part of the stomach and duodenum, by rerouting to change the body's absorption of nutrients, so as to improve or cure obesity, in order to avoid obesity to bring more harm to their lives and health. Rerouting the upper part of the stomach and rearranging the position of the small intestine reduces the intake of food and the absorption of calories in the small intestine, a two-pronged approach to achieve weight loss. At the same time, the medical profession has found that after the surgery, the food speeds up into the intestines, which helps to cure type 2 diabetes. For obese patients suffering from type 2 diabetes in suitable.
Sleeve gastrectomy (gastric reduction): suitable for 32kg/m2 ≤ BMI ≤ 40kg/m2 simple obese patients; control food intake.
Shortening gastrectomy is simple and quick to treat obesity, with short operation time, small trauma, less bleeding, quick recovery and relatively few complications; you can get out of bed on the second day after the operation, and you can eat three days after the operation, and you can be discharged from the hospital in a week. So that obese patients with efficient and rapid, healthy and safe way to reduce the burden to a greater extent; more importantly, for obese diabetic patients from now on no longer need to take hypoglycemic drugs, two weeks after the patient's blood glucose began to fall until normal, and can be maintained for a long time at a normal level.
Side effects of gastric surgery
Although gastric surgery is a minimally invasive weight loss surgery, it requires a high level of medical equipment and more stringent technical requirements for the surgeon. The surgery is prone to leakage, infection, rupture of sutures, hair loss, malnutrition and other complications if the surgery is not performed properly. Therefore, patients should be careful in choosing a hospital to receive treatment. The first thing you need to do is to choose a standardized hospital for your treatment.
