How is gastric resection performed?

The most common type of gastric resection is sleeve or longitudinal.

It allows you to:

  • Reduce the current volume of the organ by 75%
  • Reduce the amount of food consumed for full saturation to 150 ml
  • Get rid of 40-70% excess weight in a moderately short period of time
  • Cultivate the habit of fractional nutrition
  • Normalize metabolic processes through fractional food intake

During the procedure, most of the stomach is removed, and a "sleeve" is formed in place of the resected tissue.

Bariatric surgery procedures are performed in foreign clinics using the laparoscopic method – through 1-3 punctures. Currently, preference is increasingly given to single-port laparoscopy, in which surgeons limit themselves to only one small incision. This ensures accelerated postoperative recovery and excellent cosmetic effect – there are no rough scars and other traces of intervention on the body.

Gastric resection is performed in an inpatient setting under general anesthesia. High-quality and safe drugs for anesthesia are used in foreign clinics. The operation lasts an average of 1.5-2 hours and requires a 4-day hospitalization. In some cases, you have to stay in the hospital for up to a week.

The advantages of gastric resection abroad

and the advantages of gastric resection in foreign clinics are obvious:

  • Solid practical experience of doctors
  • Robotic and computer control during the operation
  • Application of high-tech equipment
  • Minimal invasiveness of surgical intervention
  • Accelerated rehabilitation under medical supervision
  • Comfort of stay
  • Round-the-clock care of junior medical staff
  • A comprehensive approach to the problem

Surgical intervention will help you significantly reduce weight– both for personal and medical purposes. And experienced surgeons from foreign clinics will make every effort to achieve a lasting effect without health risks.
