Revision Bariatric Surgery

What is Revision Bariatric Surgery?

Obesity, which is considered a complex disorder all over the world, causes many disorders along with excess weight. It can lead to serious and life-threatening conditions such as hypertension, various types of cancer, and heart attack. Weight loss is achieved with regular exercise and healthy nutrition as a result of bariatric surgery. However, patients must completely change their daily habits and nutrition after the surgery and determine a new lifestyle. In some patients who do not change this lifestyle, the surgery fails due to not losing excess weight. In some cases, failure may also occur due to the application itself. However, this situation is quite rare. Revision Bariatric Surgery method is applied in cases where bariatric operations fail. If you have decided to have this operation, you can contact our company Emseclinic.
Although bariatric surgeries are one of the most successful and effective surgeries in obesity treatment, there is a small amount of failure. There may be many reasons for failure. Situations such as applying the wrong technique, complications after the surgery, and not following nutrition and regular exercise programs can cause obesity again. When weight is regained or the desired weight cannot be lost, the operation is considered unsuccessful.

General Information About Revision Bariatric Surgery

The second operations performed in cases where people who have undergone bariatric surgery regain the weight they lost for various reasons or cannot reach the targeted weight are called Revision Bariatric Surgery. Revision Bariatric Surgery operations can be performed after all bariatric applications such as gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. In such cases, if the first operation is unsuccessful, the greatest responsibility after the revision operations falls on the patient. The technique applied in the Revision Bariatric Surgery operation differs from the first operation technique. A different technique is applied in Revision Bariatric Surgery. As in bariatric operations, laparoscopic method is used in Revision Bariatric Surgery procedures. However, open surgery is also applied quite often in most revision applications. In case of adhesion in the operation area in the first operation and if there is a complication, the operation is performed openly. The open surgery option is quite rare.

Why is Revision Bariatric Surgery Needed Again?

Generally, 5% of patients who have had bariatric surgery may require revision surgery. Patients must lose 75% of their excess weight within 1 year. Regular exercise and balanced nutrition programs after the surgeries ensure that the desired amount of weight is lost. If the nutritional program is not followed or a sedentary lifestyle is adopted, the desired amount of weight loss is not achieved in patients, and the patient even starts to gain weight again. If less than 25% of the weight is lost after the first surgery or if weight is regained, these surgeries are also unsuccessful. Or, if the patient is subject to the wrong surgical technique, postoperative complications may cause the Revision Bariatric Surgery operation to be repeated.
