Bariatric Surgery Revisions in Turkey

Bariatric Surgery Revisions

Bariatric Surgery Revisions is a surgery performed if the patient cannot lose weight or continues to gain weight after the previous bariatric surgery process.

In addition to reducing the stomach volume, it has a serious effect on the hunger hormone secreted from the stomach. The desire for food decreases and there is a serious decrease in the feeling of hunger. Revision surgery is performed in an average of 1.5 hours.

Revision weight loss surgery is a surgical procedure that is performed on patients who have already undergone a weight loss procedure, and have either had complications from the surgery or have not successfully achieved significant weight loss results from the initial surgery. Procedures are usually performed laparoscopically, though open surgery may be required if prior bariatric surgery has resulted in extensive scarring.

Who Can Have Revision Surgery?

One of the most curious issues in gastric revision surgery is who and for which age group the surgery is suitable. Those with a body mass index over 40 kg/m², that is, those who are morbidly obese,
It is suitable for those with a body mass index between 35-40 and suffering from hypertension, sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes due to obesity. The age group for gastric revision surgery is between 18-65. In order to be eligible for surgery, the person must have a body mass index of 35 and above. Under the age of 18, a physician's decision and parental consent are required for gastric surgery. For cases over 65 years of age, the health status of the individual and the necessity of the surgery are evaluated.

What are the benefits of revisional bariatric surgery?

Revisional bariatric surgery is performed to improve a patient’s health or quality of life. The procedure may encourage greater weight loss in patients whose initial surgeries did not lead to the expected loss of excess body weight. It may reduce or eliminate unwanted side effects that arise after an initial bariatric procedure, such as GERD or swallowing difficulties. It may also address complications from the initial bariatric surgery, such as an ulcer or stricture. Or, it may completely reverse the initial bariatric procedure when it is no longer wanted or effective.
