Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy-Gastric Sleeve

Obesity Surgery: Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy-Gastric Sleeve

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, known as "Gastric Sleeve Surgery", is a stomach reduction operation applied in obesity treatment. The curved part of the stomach is removed in the operation applying general anesthesia with a closed (laparoscopic) surgical technique. Structural and functional changes caused by the surgery lead to a decrease in appetite and restriction of eating and drinking, helping to lose excess weight in a short time. Long-term medical follow-up results of thousands of patients show that patients who had "Gastric Sleeve Surgery" lost 70-80% of their excess weight.
