Gastric Sleeve 

Gastric Sleeve (stomach reduction surgery), also known as gastric sleeve, is a surgical intervention that plays an active role in the fight against obesity. During the operation, the person’s stomach is reduced to a smaller size than its volume. During the operation, the person’s stomach is removed using laparoscopic surgery method. Since the appearance of the person’s remaining stomach is reminiscent of a tube, this surgery is also known as sleeve gastrectomy.

Gastric Sleeve surgery is applied to people who have health problems due to obesity and who cannot get positive results despite trying other methods such as diet and exercise to lose weight. Approximately 80% of the stomach is removed during surgery. Reducing the volume of the stomach allows the stomach to be filled with less food and drink, allowing the person to control their eating.

Gastric Sleeve surgery provides weight loss in several different ways. 

• As the stomach shrinks, it will take less food. This will be effective in losing weight by allowing the person to take less calories. 
• During the surgery, the stomach hormones of the person will change and appetite control will be provided. In this way, the person will eat less and weight loss will occur. 
• A small stomach will provide a feeling of satiety in the person. In this way, the person will not feel hunger and the tendency to eat will decrease.

Laparoscopy devices, also known as robotic arms, are used in the surgical procedure. After the patient is put to sleep, the part of the stomach planned to be removed is removed with the help of cameras by entering through small incisions made on the abdomen. After the removal of the fundus region of the stomach, the remaining part of the stomach resembles a tube shape. This is the reason why the surgical procedure is known as sleeve gastrectomy.
