Gastric Sleeve
Articles and resources for Gastric Sleeve in General Surgery.
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a weight-loss procedure commonly considered for individuals with obesity or related health issues, such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. The surgery involves removing a significant portion of the stomach, which helps restrict food intake and can lead to substantial weight loss. It is often recommended when lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, have not been effective in achieving or maintaining a healthy weight.
The procedure is typically performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, which involves small incisions and the use of a camera. During the surgery, the surgeon removes about 80% of the stomach, creating a sleeve-like structure that resembles a banana. Patients can expect a hospital stay of one to two days, followed by a recovery period during which they will gradually transition to a new diet and lifestyle.
The potential benefits of gastric sleeve surgery include significant weight loss, improved metabolic health, and enhanced quality of life. However, like any surgical procedure, it carries risks, such as infection, bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia. Long-term considerations may also include nutritional deficiencies and the need for ongoing medical follow-up to ensure optimal health outcomes.
