Metabolic Surgery

What is Metabolic Surgery?

Obesity surgeries have been performed all over the world for a long time. These surgeries are gastric bypass, which aims to reduce nutrient absorption, or sleeve gastrectomy, which restricts the volume by removing a portion of the stomach. It has been observed that, in general, obese and diabetic people, their blood sugar levels improve without losing weight and their need for insulin is eliminated after this surgery. Based on this, it has been seen that changing the location of the intestines causes these effects. It has been understood that the secretion of the GLP-1 hormone, called the L cell in this part of the small intestine, increases in direct proportion to the increase in food passing to the last part of the small intestine. It has been seen that this hormone increases the number of insulin-secreting cells in the pancreas. As a result, surgical models have been developed that will cause undigested food to pass through the last part of the small intestine, and these types of surgeries are called diabetes surgery. It has been seen that 90% of diabetics are completely cured of this disease after Metabolic Surgery surgeries. It has been understood that other diseases brought about by obesity, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver and sleep apnea, are also treated.

About the Benefits of Metabolic Surgery

Thanks to Metabolic Surgery, you will achieve improved diabetes control. In addition, improvements are seen in complications caused by weight loss and obesity (sleep apnea, cholesterol, asthma). In addition, people who lose weight see benefits such as improved quality of life.

Who is Suitable for Metabolic Surgery?

This surgery is performed on people with Type 2 diabetes whose insulin stores are not depleted and whose body mass index is 30 and above. In order to decide on surgery, first of all, your chances of recovery with Metabolic Surgery are checked with the help of a number of tests.

How is Metabolic Surgery Performed?

Metabolic Surgery surgeries performed laparoscopically are performed under general anesthesia and last approximately 2-3 hours. It is performed with instruments entered through 5 holes opened in the abdominal region. The first stage is a sleeve gastrectomy and in the second stage, a 250 cm. distance is cut from the junction point of the small intestine and the large intestine and the lower end is connected to the stomach. Thus, the last part of the small intestine is brought closer to the stomach exit. The GLP-1 hormone is found in the last part of the small intestine called the ileum and insulin is secreted in the pancreatic tissue with the help of this hormone. At the end of this procedure, 2/3 of all nutrients entering the stomach pass through this newly connected path. The third stage of the Metabolic Surgery surgery is the connection of the intestine, the part where bile and pancreas are secreted, whose lower end is connected to the stomach, and the large intestine from the junction point (about 80-100 cm). This type of surgery is performed both to prevent absorption and to limit volume. With the surgery going well, the patient starts drinking water on the first day and can start taking liquid foods on the 2nd and 3rd days. If no negative situation is encountered, the patient is discharged within 3-4 days.
