Advantages of Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric Sleeve Surgery or gastrectomy
Gastric sleeve surgery is a relatively new kid on the block when it comes to bariatric surgery. Technically called gastric sleeve resection, it is typically used to safely jump-start the surgical weight loss process in people who are too obese or sick to have more invasive weight loss surgeries or are not candidates for gastric banding.
Put another way, gastric sleeve surgery lets such people reach a safe weight so they can then undergo the more radical gastric bypass surgery or duodenal switch surgery. This is the most useful application of gastric sleeve surgery at this time, because it appears to be faster and/or easier than other weight loss surgeries in these high-risk people.
Other names for gastric sleeve resection are sleeve gastrectomy, vertical sleeve gastrectromy, tube gastrectomy and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
No reliable statistics exist yet for how many of these procedures have been done, but gastric sleeve resection is typically reserved for people who are super-super obese, meaning they have a body mass index (BMI) of more than 60, or for those who are not in appropriate physical condition to undergo gastric bypass surgery or other more radical weight loss surgeries.
A BMI takes height and weight into account to measure body fatness, and a BMI of 30 or higher in adults is considered obese.
Gastric sleeve surgery may be appropriate also for people who can't return for the follow-up visits required by gastric banding.
What to Do Before Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?
Before gastric sleeve resection or any bariatric surgery, you must quit smoking, as smoking increases the risk for infections, pneumonia, blood clots, slow healing and other life-threatening complications after surgery. Ideally, quitting smoking should be permanent, but you must quit for at least one month before and one month after bariatric surgery.
Some surgeons require patients to go on special diets in the week(s) before the procedure.
How Gastric Sleeve Surgery Works ?
During this procedure a bariatric surgeon removes about 60 percent of the stomach so that it takes the shape of a tube or sleeve.
Surgeons Perform First-Ever Weight Loss Surgery Through the Vagina
Typically, gastric sleeve surgery is performed laparoscopically. This means that the surgeon makes small five incisions in the abdomen and then inserts a viewing tube with a small camera (laparoscope) and tiny surgical instruments into these small incisions to remove part of the stomach. The tube-shaped stomach that's left is sealed and closed with staples.
In contrast, when the procedure is performed through the vagina, fewer incisions are needed because the vagina provides a natural opening. Specifically, one incision is placed in the belly button through which a laparoscope is placed to view the abdomen. The second incision is placed just below the sternum to insert an instrument used to retract the liver..
What to Expect After Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?
The non-reversible surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes about one to two hours. Afterward you would probably stay in the hospital for one or two days, and recovery from gastric sleeve surgery may last a few weeks.
The abdomen is often swollen and sore for several days. Your surgeon may prescribe pain medication for the discomfort. Some scarring may occur, but this can be covered with clothing.
You would need to become re-used to eating solid foods. Normally this starts with two weeks on a liquid-only diet, two weeks of semi-solid, pureed foods and then solids.
As far as weight loss goes, most people who have gastric sleeve surgery lose 30 to 50 percent of their excess body weight over six months to one year..
Certain lifestyle changes and follow-up care occur afterward; people who have gastric sleeve surgery must : -
Exercise regularly.
Learn behavior modification techniques.
Follow very specific dietary instructions, including eating very slowly, consuming only small quantities of food at a time, chewing thoroughly and swallowing food only when it is mashed, and not eating and drinking at the same time.
Advantages of Gastric Sleeve Surgery Through the Vagina
Two kinds of hernias may develop after bariatric surgery. An incisional hernia is a weakness that sticks out from the abdominal wall's connective tissue and may cause a blockage in the bowel. An internal hernia, however, occurs when the small bowel is displaced into pockets in the lining of the abdomen. These pockets are created when the intestines are sewn together. Fewer incisions mean a lower risk of incisional hernias.
Some other advantages : -
Sleeve gastrectomy may be safer than gastric bypass for patients who have a number of health risks.
It lowers the risk of ulcers compared to gastric bypass.
The surgery cuts away the part of the stomach that produces grehlin, a stomach hormone that stimulates hunger.
Though the stomach is smaller, the openings are left intact, so digestion can go on as normal.
The body is free of foreign objects like the LAP-BAND®.
Risks and complications include : -
Leaking of the sleeve. The operation requires staples to be inserted into the stomach, and there is always a chance that the staples will tear apart, resulting in a leak. The leaking stomach acids frequently become infected and can cause serious problems that may require another operation or a drainage tube.
Blood clots
Weight may be regained over time, because the stomach can stretch.
Unlike gastric banding surgeries, no foreign objects are left in the body during the procedure. With gastric banding, the band may slip, erode or become infected.
Unlike gastric bypass or duodenal switch, there is no bypass of the small intestines with the gastric sleeve, so all nutrients are absorbed and very little chance exists of absorption issues.
