Treatments

Gastric bypass surgery is a surgical procedure performed for obesity treatment. This surgery aims to promote weight loss by reducing the stomach volume and bypassing a portion of the intestines. Gastric bypass surgery can be performed using minimally invasive (laparoscopic) or open surgical methods.

To ensure the patient’s comfort and a pain-free experience during the surgery, general anesthesia is administered. In laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, small incisions (surgical cuts) are made, typically involving a few small incisions. These incisions allow access for surgical instruments and a camera, enabling the surgeon to view the operative area. The surgeon separates and reduces the upper part of the stomach to create a smaller pouch, approximately the size of an egg.

Benefits of Gastric Bypass Surgery:

• Significant Weight Loss: Patients can achieve substantial and sustained weight loss, improving overall health and reducing obesity-related conditions.
• Improved Metabolic Health: Gastric bypass can lead to improvements in type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol levels.
• Enhanced Quality of Life: Patients often experience increased mobility, better self-esteem, and a reduction in obesity-related symptoms.
• Minimally Invasive Options: Laparoscopic methods result in smaller scars, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times compared to open surgery.

Recovery and Aftercare:

Post-surgery, patients are required to follow a specific diet regimen and engage in regular physical activity to maximize the benefits of the procedure. Regular follow-up appointments with our medical team ensure that patients are progressing well and help address any complications promptly.

Mini gastric bypass is a surgical method used in obesity treatment. This method involves surgically reducing a portion of the stomach and altering its connection to the small intestine. Gastric bypass surgeries are performed to treat obesity-related health issues or to facilitate weight loss.

During the mini gastric bypass procedure, the stomach is transformed into a smaller pouch, and the small intestine is connected to this new pouch. This setup limits food intake and reduces nutrient absorption, which can lead to weight loss. Post-surgery, patients must adhere to a specific diet regimen, which is crucial for supporting recovery and maintaining weight loss. Regular medical follow-up is often necessary after the mini gastric bypass surgery.

Diabetes is a medical condition with various treatment methods available. It is a metabolic disorder resulting from the body’s inability to regulate blood sugar levels.

• Type 1 Diabetes: This autoimmune disease results in the loss of the pancreas’s ability to produce insulin. Treatment involves insulin injections.

• Type 2 Diabetes: Associated with lifestyle factors, this type develops when the body’s cells become inefficient at using insulin. Gestational Diabetes is characterized by high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. Treatment typically involves diet and exercise, and in some cases, medications may be necessary.

Gastric Injection Applications (Gastric Botox)

Gastric injection applications are advanced medical procedures used to treat obesity by directly injecting medications or therapeutic agents into the stomach. Gastric Botox works by relaxing the stomach muscles, thereby slowing down stomach movements and the digestion of food. This slower digestion process helps individuals feel full for a longer period and reduces the urge to overeat, thereby supporting weight loss.

Procedure Details: Gastric injection applications are typically performed using an endoscopic method. During the procedure, Botox or other therapeutic agents are injected into the stomach through a thin tube. This non-surgical approach allows patients to be discharged on the same day and quickly return to their daily activities.

Benefits:

• Rapid Results: By slowing stomach movements, patients experience a prolonged feeling of fullness, leading to positive changes in eating habits and significant weight loss.
• Minimally Invasive: As it does not require surgical intervention, the risks are lower, and the recovery process is faster.
• Long-Lasting Effects: The effects of the injected Botox typically last between 6-12 months, during which patients continue to lose weight.
• Enhanced Quality of Life: Weight loss reduces obesity-related health issues and improves overall quality of life.

Side Effects and Risks: Like any medical procedure, gastric injection applications come with potential side effects and risks. These may include nausea, vomiting, cramps, and, in rare cases, allergic reactions. Therefore, it is essential to undergo a thorough evaluation and follow your doctor’s recommendations before starting this treatment.

Who Is It Suitable For? Gastric injection applications are ideal for obese individuals who prefer to avoid surgical interventions but struggle significantly with weight loss. Additionally, it is suitable for those who do not suffer from obesity-related health issues such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. However, this treatment may not be suitable for everyone; therefore, consulting with a specialist doctor for an eligibility assessment is crucial.

etabolic surgery is a surgical procedure used in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes (Sugar Disease). This surgery is employed to promote weight loss and reduce insulin resistance.

• Sleeve Gastrectomy (Sleeve Surgery): In this procedure, a large portion of the stomach is surgically removed, creating a tube-shaped stomach. This reduces food intake and alters the effects of appetite-regulating hormones, facilitating weight loss. Additionally, sleeve gastrectomy can help decrease insulin resistance.

• Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: This surgery involves reducing the stomach size and creating a connection between a small stomach pouch and the small intestine. This limits food intake and alters the digestion process, leading to weight loss and increased insulin sensitivity.

Reflux surgery is a surgical method used to treat Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). This surgery is considered for patients who do not respond to GERD symptoms caused by weakness or looseness of the stomach valve (sphincter), resulting in the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus. Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery offers advantages over traditional open surgery.

Preoperative Evaluation and Preparation:

• Assessing the patient’s overall health.
• Informing the patient about the surgical process.

During Surgery:

• General anesthesia is administered to ensure the patient is unconscious and does not feel pain.
• Small incisions are made using laparoscopic techniques.
• A camera and surgical instruments are inserted through these incisions to perform the surgery.
• The surgeon repairs the weakened stomach valve or tightens it to prevent reflux.

Postoperative Care:

• Patients typically experience minimal pain and have shorter recovery times compared to open surgery.
• Following the surgeon’s recommendations and attending regular follow-up appointments are crucial for successful recovery and long-term relief from GERD symptoms.

Risks:

• Bleeding, infection, intestinal obstruction, stomach ulcers, dumping syndrome, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies are potential risks associated with reflux surgery.

Cholecystectomy is the medical term for the gallbladder removal surgery. This procedure involves removing the gallbladder and is typically performed on patients experiencing gallstones or other gallbladder-related issues. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical method.

Procedure:

• Small incisions are made in the abdomen.
• Laparoscopic instruments and a camera are inserted through these incisions.
• The surgeon carefully removes the gallbladder.
• The incisions are then closed with sutures or surgical tape.

Benefits:

• Reduced pain and scarring.
• Shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.
• Lower risk of complications.

Inguinal hernia surgery is a surgical procedure to repair a hernia in the groin area. Patients must be fasting before the surgery, typically avoiding food and drink on the morning of the operation. Patients should adhere to preoperative hygiene guidelines to ensure a safe and successful surgery.

Procedure:

• The patient is placed under general anesthesia.
• A small incision is made in the groin area.
• The hernia is pushed back into the abdominal cavity.
• The weakened area is reinforced using sutures or mesh to prevent recurrence.
• The incision is then closed.

Postoperative Care:

• Patients are encouraged to rest and avoid strenuous activities to allow proper healing.
• Pain management is provided as needed.
• Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor recovery and address any complications.
