Gastric sleeve surgery

Today, sleeve gastrectomy is the gold standard in our country and around the world. Since the shape of the stomach after the operation is similar to the shape of a tube, it is called sleeve gastrectomy surgery. This surgery, also known as "stomach reduction", is the most frequently preferred method. However, the most appropriate method for the patient is decided by the surgeon.

Normally, a person's stomach volume is around 1 - 1.5 L. With this surgery, a large part of the stomach (80-90%) is removed and approximately 150-200 ml of stomach volume is left behind. In this way, food intake is restricted, the production of hunger hormone (Ghrelin) is reduced and satiety is provided for a long time.

Removal of this part reduces the level of the hormone Ghrelin in the blood, thereby suppressing appetite.
