Gastric sleeve, Stomach reduction, sleeve gastrectomy is performed laparoscopically.

 

A large part of the stomach is removed so that only a tube remains along the small stomach curve as a connection between the esophagus and the intestine. 

 

So the stomach loses a large proportion of its filling volume & only small portions can be taken.

In addition, the hunger hormone ghrelin is influenced, which has a positive effect on the feeling of hunger.

Ghrelin is mainly found in the parietal cells in the epithelium of the gastric fundus, but also by the

ε-cells of the pancreas are produced and in a preliminary stage in the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland and converted into the active form by splitting off some amino acids.

Ghrelin is a hormone that stimulates food intake and the secretion of growth regulates

hormones.

The level of ghrelin in the blood rises during periods of hunger and falls after a meal.

Lack of sleep induces increased ghrelin secretion and in this way presumably contributes

contributes to the development of obesity.

Other hormones that control the feeling of hunger or satiety are leptin, orexin & Cortisol.

In the fasting state, the ghrelin secretion is increased, after eating the ghrelin level falls.

 

It stimulates the secretion of neuropeptide Y, which is known to be in the hypothalamus

it increases food intake, as well as agouti-related peptide hormones (AGRP) in the arcuate nucleus.

In terms of the frequency of the procedure, stomach reduction is now well ahead of

Gastric bypass.

One advantage over gastric bypass surgery is that no bowel diversion is required and therefore this procedure is more suitable, for example, for patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease or intestinal adhesions. Furthermore, the resorption of medication is undisturbed.

However, the irreversible loss of a large part of the stomach is a disadvantage.

After bariatric surgery, the person affected has to switch to a special, balanced diet.

Weight reduction can result in a significant improvement in the general state of health, as many secondary diseases are also favorably influenced.

The gastric sleeve is a strictly restrictive procedure in which a large part of the stomach is removed.

 

This means that food can only be consumed in small portions. 

 

About 30% of patients lose 60% of their excess weight after gastric sleeve surgery and their accompanying illnesses are largely eliminated. Approximately 10% of patients do not achieve this reduction in weight, but lose enough weight that they are satisfied with the result, since most of the comorbidities have been eliminated or significantly improved. The rest of them experience minimal weight loss and are not satisfied with the result.

The causes of insufficient weight loss are:

No change in eating habits, inadequate physical activity, and continued behavioral errors related to food intake.

There are seldom anatomical reasons for the lack of weight loss. In some cases, too little was removed from the stomach during surgery. Most of the time, however, patients have consumed excessively large amounts of food per serving and thus gradually caused an increasing widening of the stomach tube (dilation). The stomach tube is a muscle that wears out with constant overstretching, thereby becoming larger again and also allowing larger portions.

A scarred narrowing in the stomach tube (stenosis) usually leads to more frequent vomiting and heartburn. This condition, if it occurs early, can possibly be treated with an enlargement. This is done without surgery with the gastric mirror through which a balloon is inserted to expand it. Another possibility is to insert a self-expanding stent (a tube that widens the constriction) if the constriction occurs prematurely. This also happens with the stomach mirror. The stent is removed again after 4-6 weeks. If these measures do not bring about permanent improvement, an operative correction must be carried out. The tube stomach is then preferably converted into a bypass.

 

Many patients suffer from heartburn even before the operation. Heartburn is caused by gastric juice flowing back into the esophagus. In many patients, these symptoms improve when their body weight drops. In some patients, however, there is no improvement or even an increase in heartburn. In about 8% of the patients who had no heartburn before the gastric sleeve surgery, these symptoms develop again. Most heartburn can be improved or eliminated with acid-blocking medication. However, when gastric juice runs through the esophagus to the larynx, especially when lying down, coughing fits occur, which can be very painful and cannot be eliminated with tablets. In this case, only a corrective operation remains, which usually also consists of converting the gastric tube into a bypass.

In the case of insufficient weight loss and a highly dilated gastric sleeve, further reduction in size of the gastric sleeve rarely leads to good results. This measure should then be combined with an additional bypass operation. This means that the sleeve stomach is made smaller and the small intestine is also partially eliminated in front of or behind the gastric outlet. 

 

Difference:
Laparoscopic Surgery & Endoscopic Surgery

 

Laparoscopic surgery

This is done using the keyhole technique, i.e. laparoscopically or minimally invasively, through five small holes with a size of 1.5 to 2.5 cm. The abdomen is first filled with a gas so that the surgeon has a better view of the interior of the abdomen. Now the surgeons solve it

In a special technique, the stomach from adhesions, for example to the spleen, in order to then carry out the actual reduction.

An important part of the operation is the so-called leak test:

At the end of the procedure, the doctor briefly fills the new stomach with a blue liquid through a small gastric tube to ensure that the seams are absolutely tight.

The rate of complications in the hands of experienced surgeons is very low. 

 

Endoscopic surgery

Endoscopic (this is how the Apollo procedure is carried out in Germany, for example)

 

Body cavities and hollow organs can be viewed with endoscopy. To do this, the internist pushes a flexible rubber tube, the so-called endoscope, into the mouth.

When gastric bypass the stomach is separated a few inches below the stomach entrance.
t leaves a small remaining stomach, "pouch", which holds about 15 ml and serves as a brake for the food supplied, the small intestine is also severed, one end of the intestine is connected to the small remaining stomach and the other redirected so that the Food and digestive juices are first mixed in the middle small intestine and the upper, directly to the stomach adjoining small intestine is bypassed. The digestive juices are introduced in the deeper intestinal sections and thus can only begin digestion by the decomposition of the food components. The result is that not all food components can be decomposed and thus only a part taken up "resorbed". There are thus fewer nutrient components available to the blood. The undigested food is transported to the colon. 

 

 

The disadvantages of the gastric bypass

 

The physiology in the digestive process is changed. Not only the intake of calorie carriers is reduced, but also the vitamins, minerals and trace elements. In particular, vitamin B 12 can no longer be "absorbed" by the normal digestive power and the dose must be given by injection for life. In some cases this also applies to the absorption of iron. The permanent intake of a multivitamin preparation is required daily. Certain medications should no longer be taken orally because they may damage the intestinal mucosa. Others are degraded in their effectiveness, e.g. Hormones.

 

Depending on the food composition, side effects such as bloating, foul-smelling fatty stools, diarrhea and the so-called "dumping syndrome" with circulatory decline and lightning-like evacuation may occur after eating very sugary foods and drinks.

 

The restrictive effect of the little "pouch" can be lost over time and then normal-sized to large amounts of food can be eaten again.

 

It is no longer possible to perform an endoscopic gastroscopy or to remove bile duct stones.

In recent years, in a large number of obesity surgeries,
weight loss has been associated with the disappearance
of type 2 diabetes.

 

 

There are several methods:

 

1.) stomach reduction, the success rate is 80%.

 

2.) The best results were obtained after a bipartition bypass.

Here, a switching off of the stomach is performed with bypassing the duodenum.

 

The operation is performed laparoscopically, ie by means of "keyhole surgery".

Immediately after surgery there should be a decrease in the required insulin therapy.

Information on corrective operations after a bariatric procedure

If you have had weight loss surgery before, you may experience some difficulty months or years after the surgery. This is rather rare and should be discussed in practice. At this point, we would like to provide you with some information in advance so that you can describe and discuss your problems in more detail during the medical consultation. 

 

The following groups of problems can be identified regardless of which procedure was previously carried out on you:

 

insufficient weight loss

considerable increase in body weight despite previous good weight loss.

Symptoms from frequent vomiting, very frequent heartburn, rising gastric juice with coughing fits, especially when lying down, constrictions in the upper digestive tract with obstruction of passage, ulcer formation in the small gastric pouch, insufficient weight loss or a significant increase in body weight after the operation are actually never caused by changes in the operated stomach . Most of the reasons are rather failure to observe the dietary recommendations, insufficient physical activity (going swimming, walking the dog, climbing two flights of stairs a day is not enough). Behavioral patterns that led to overweight and obesity are often retained despite intensive advice or resumed in situations of frustration. These conditions require extensive further clarification and usually also psychotherapy in order to work through and eliminate the undesirable development.

Anatomical reasons in the operated stomach or small intestine are very rarely the cause of the above-mentioned weight changes. A defective gastric band can lead to an increase in weight, a fistula between the small stomach pouch and the stomach that is switched off, or a sleeve stomach that widened over time.

In order to find out such causes, an X-ray examination and a gastroscopy are required in advance.

Typical complications of the individual surgical procedures are presented below:

 

Gastric band:

A gastric band that is as tight as possible leads to frequent vomiting several times a day. As a result, the stomach located below the gastric band can turn up through the gastric band and thus lead to an obstruction of passage. This condition is called slippage. The complete emptying of the gastric band immediately eliminates the discomfort. As a rule, however, the slippage cannot be removed without surgery.

An extremely tight gastric band also leads to a widening of the esophagus and often to a long-term lingering of food in the esophagus with corresponding inflammatory reactions. When lying down, gastric juice and food particles can run back into the trachea. This causes coughing fits.

In rare cases, the gastric band can also migrate through the stomach wall and then lie in the stomach, causing weight gain again (erosion).

All of these conditions require correction. This consists of removing the gastric band. The mere removal of the gastric band leads to an increase in body weight in 99% of cases. It should therefore be considered to combine the removal of the gastric band with another procedure (bypass, gastric sleeve).

It is known from great statistics that reinsertion of a gastric band does not give good results.

 

Gastric Sleeve:

About 30% of patients lose 60% of their excess weight after gastric sleeve surgery and their accompanying illnesses are largely eliminated. Approximately 10% of patients do not achieve this reduction in weight, but lose enough weight that they are satisfied with the result, since most of the comorbidities have been eliminated or significantly improved. The rest of them experience minimal weight loss and are not satisfied with the result.

The causes of insufficient weight loss are:

No change in eating habits, inadequate physical activity, and continued behavioral errors related to food intake.

There are seldom anatomical reasons for the lack of weight loss. In some cases, too little was removed from the stomach during surgery. Most of the time, however, patients have consumed excessively large amounts of food per serving and thus gradually caused an increasing widening of the stomach tube (dilation). The stomach tube is a muscle that wears out with constant overstretching, thereby becoming larger again and also allowing larger portions.

A scarred narrowing in the stomach tube (stenosis) usually leads to more frequent vomiting and heartburn. This condition, if it occurs early, can possibly be treated with an enlargement. This is done without surgery with the gastric mirror through which a balloon is inserted to expand it. Another possibility is to insert a self-expanding stent (a tube that widens the constriction) if the constriction occurs prematurely. This also happens with the stomach mirror. The stent is removed again after 4-6 weeks. If these measures do not bring about permanent improvement, an operative correction must be carried out. The tube stomach is then preferably converted into a bypass.

Many patients suffer from heartburn even before the operation. Heartburn is caused by gastric juice flowing back into the esophagus. In many patients, these symptoms improve when their body weight drops. In some patients, however, there is no improvement or even an increase in heartburn. In about 8% of the patients who had no heartburn before the gastric sleeve surgery, these symptoms develop again. Most heartburn can be improved or eliminated with acid-blocking medication. However, when gastric juice runs through the esophagus to the larynx, especially when lying down, coughing fits occur, which can be very painful and cannot be eliminated with tablets. In this case, only a corrective operation remains, which usually also consists of converting the gastric tube into a bypass.

In the case of insufficient weight loss and a highly dilated gastric sleeve, further reduction in size of the gastric sleeve rarely leads to good results. This measure should then be combined with an additional bypass operation. This means that the sleeve stomach is made smaller and the small intestine is also partially eliminated in front of or behind the gastric outlet. 

 

Gastric bypass:

For gastric bypass with regard to insufficient weight loss or renewed weight gain, the same statements apply as just given for the sleeve stomach. The small part of the stomach (stomach pouch, technical term: stomach pouch) can also expand if the food portions are too large and absorb more food again. What is more important, however, is that the connection between the stomach pouch and the subsequent small intestine also expands and thus the food can slide out of the pouch into the small intestine much faster. This condition is basically due to an undisciplined eating behavior. A correction in the sense that the pouch and the connection between the pouch and the small intestine are made smaller rarely leads to good results, the weight loss is small and does not last long. Studies are currently underway to test whether an additional narrowing of the stomach pouch with a plastic ring results in an improvement. As a rule, however, renewed nutritional counseling and psychotherapy are required in order to treat the persistent food intake disorder.

Constrictions (stenosis) between the stomach pouch and the subsequent small intestine are rather rare, usually occur a few weeks after the operation and can usually always be removed with a balloon widening with the help of the gastric level.

About 7% of patients with gastric bypass develop ulcers at the transition from the gastric pouch to the small intestine. These ulcers can be observed almost exclusively in heavy smokers or in patients who continue to take painkillers from the group of rheumatoid drugs. The ulcers can usually be healed with medication. It is important, however, that the patient gives up smoking and switches pain relievers to stomach-friendly drugs. In extremely rare cases (bleeding, gastric wall perforation), surgery is indicated for correction.

 

Summary:

Every operation has its own specific risk. The first interventions for weight loss show a pleasingly low rate of complications despite the mostly considerable concomitant illnesses. This does not apply to new interventions. Even with a reduced weight, the complication rates are considerably higher. If complications between 5-7% occur during the first operation, the complication rate for the first corrective operation is 15-25%, for further corrective operations the risk of complications rises to 50%. Correcting an existing procedure (e.g. correcting a gastric bypass) does not produce good results; as a rule, a different method should be used. In our own experience, we then see patients who benefit very well from the new procedure. But there are also patients who, despite the changed surgical procedure, are not very successful.

In this respect, before each new intervention, you should think very carefully about what success you can hope for with which method and what risk you want to take for it.

Heartburn treatment / reflux surgery is particularly useful for extremely severe heartburn that has been plaguing the person for a long period of time & does
not respond to any treatment methods. It can not only relieve the sick person of their complaints, but also put an end to the associated psychological stress.

 

Everyday life often seems like an insurmountable obstacle and the mental state is often impaired. Reflux surgery can restore a part of the quality of life to those affected. 

 

What happens during reflux surgery?

The primary goal of reflux surgery is to block the passage of gastric acid from the stomach into the esophagus. This endeavor is directed not only against the acute symptoms that an untreatable reflux brings with it, but above all against its long-term consequences.

To prevent this from happening, doctors have developed antireflux surgery, i.e. surgical techniques against reflux. This ensures that ingested food can pass through the esophagus as usual and then be chopped up and used in the digestive tract. If the chyme fills the upper part of the stomach, however, this area expands and thus narrows the transition from the esophagus to the stomach. The effect: it is hardly possible for the stomach contents to flow back.

Most patients no longer or hardly suffer from annoying heartburn afterwards.

The POSE2 Endo-Sleeve, Pose procedure,

Apollo procedure, stomach folding, endo sleeve procedure, stomach wrap, sleeve plication, gastric sleev plication, or also known as stomach sleeve, is a novel laparos copical treatment for gastric

 

reduction.

 

In Turkey, this procedure is performed laparoscopically.

 

A large part of the stomach is folded up and sewn from the outside.

 

So the stomach loses a large proportion of its filling volume & only small portions can be taken. 

 

The Apollo Procedure, Stomach Folding, Endo Sleeve Procedure, Pose Procedure, Stomach Wrap,

Sleeve plication, gastric sleev plication, or gastric folds, is a laparoscopic technique in Turkey

 

Procedure, which, however, is carried out by a specialist under general anesthesia in an operating room with all safety measures.

 

The stomach volume can be reduced by up to 75%.

In Germany the stomach volume is reduced by approx. 25%. 

 

The disadvantages of stomach folding:

If you have a tumor in your stomach, unfortunately you cannot see it,

when it is in the folded area.

You will always be hungry as the hunger center is not removed,

like with sleeve stomach, gastric sleeve, or with stomach reduction.

You cannot undo this operation.

If food or drink gets into the stuck stomach,

these cannot flow into the intestines.

(if it is carried out endoscopically as in Germany)

Through the use of a gastric balloon

in connection with a change in diet carried out under supervision can cause

serious health disorders of obesity patients

can be significantly reduced and at the same time a new quality of life can be achieved.

 

The gastric balloon system consists of a soft, stretchable balloon, an insert tube

& a filling system. The balloon can be inserted & removed through the mouth - without surgery or incisions.

When the empty balloon is in the stomach, it is filled with a sterile saline solution.

The filling quantity is individually adapted to the patient and varies between 400 - 700 ml.

The system's balloon now floats freely in the stomach and partially fills it.

The patient achieves a feeling of satiety with a much smaller amount of food & immediately consumes less food.

 

Air-filled or liquid-filled gastric balloon?

The gastric balloon can be filled with either liquid or air. Some doctors are critical of the air-filled variant for several reasons: On the one hand, a leak in the air-filled gastric balloon is not noticed so quickly because the urine is not blue. This also increases the risk of the balloon leaking into the intestine and thus of an intestinal obstruction. The weight reduction with the air-filled balloon may also be worse, since it only weighs about 30 grams. The liquid-filled gastric balloon, on the other hand, has a dead weight of around 450 to 700 grams and thus ensures a faster feeling of satiety.

 

The disadvantages of the gastric balloon:

The gastric balloon can burst.

The gastric balloon makes the stomach bigger and you can take in more food after removing the balloon.

If you want to have a stomach reduction done after the gastric balloon,

it is a revision operation and accordingly costs more.

The side effects of a gastric balloon can be significant, especially in the first few days after insertion. Typical are nausea, abdominal cramps and a pronounced feeling of fullness. These complaints subside as soon as the stomach has got used to the foreign body. This is usually the case after about three to seven days. Even in the long term, however, some patients complain of a constant feeling of pressure or fullness, belching and heartburn. If the gastric balloon causes permanent problems, it should be removed early.

The gastric balloon for swallowing Allurion

 

The swallowable gastric balloon Elipse ™ from Allurion is an innovative treatment method for weight reduction, which is already established worldwide. 

 

Conventional gastric balloons are endoscopically inserted through a tube into the patient's stomach by gastroscopy. Allurion has developed a new type of gastric balloon treatment: the Elipse ™ swallowing balloon. The great advantage of this development is that a comfortable weight reduction without surgery, without endoscopy and without anesthesia is possible as part of the Elipse ™ balloon program.

 

 

Elipse ™ Gastric Balloon Treatment: How It Works

The Elipse ™ gastric balloon is placed in the patient's stomach and reduces its volume. As a result, patients can no longer eat as much and become full more quickly. The gastric balloon can thus help people lose weight who have not had any success with other methods and help them lead a healthier life.

What is special about the Elipse ™ gastric balloon is the type of treatment, i.e. the insertion and removal of the balloon. The Elipse ™ gastric balloon is a so-called swallowing balloon. It is empty by the patient, swallowed in the form of a capsule and, as soon as it has reached the stomach, filled with a liquid via a fine tube attached to the capsule. The tube is then carefully withdrawn by the doctor and the patient can go home.

 

Removal of the Elipse ™ gastric balloon

The Elipse ™ gastric balloon deflates all by itself via a timed release valve that opens after about 16 weeks. The soft shell of the balloon is excreted naturally through the intestine without surgery.

Anesthesia: no anesthesia necessary, non-surgical procedure

Duration: treatment lasts approx. 20 minutes, on an outpatient basis

Scope: 4 months wearing time

Sociability: Immediately socially acceptable again, if necessary 2-3 days

 

Do the health insurance companies participate in the Elipse ™ gastric balloon treatment?

 

No, the health insurance companies do not participate in the Elipse ™ gastric balloon treatment.

The cost of the Elipse ™ program must be borne by the patient. 

 

Which side effects can occur?

The gastric balloon makes the stomach bigger and you can take in more food after removing the balloon.

 

If you want to have a stomach reduction done after the gastric balloon,

it is a revision operation and accordingly costs more.

 

The side effects of a gastric balloon can be significant, especially in the first few days after insertion. Typical are nausea, abdominal cramps and a pronounced feeling of fullness. These complaints subside as soon as the stomach has got used to the foreign body. This is usually the case after about three to seven days. Even in the long term, however, some patients complain of a constant feeling of pressure or fullness, belching and heartburn. If the gastric balloon causes permanent problems, it should be removed early.

How does the anti-hunger injection help?

How much excess weight can you lose with gastric toxin treatment? The treatment is carried out as part of an endoscopic treatment carried out in a day clinic - gastroscopy - in very specific places in the stomach. The patient is sedated beforehand and therefore does not feel any pain. The treatment delays gastric emptying and reduces the feeling of hunger. This gradually leads to weight loss. Controlled double-blind studies show that using the “anti-hunger injection” can lead to a weight loss of 5 to 15 kilograms within six months. Thereafter, if necessary, the treatment can be repeated.

 

The doctor carrying out the procedure should be specially trained in the latest gastric tox technology. Because the desired effect, i.e. weight loss, can only be achieved by using it in the right places.

Electrical currents in the stomach are responsible, among other things, for feeling full and for emptying the stomach. The gastric currents are generated by means of a pacemaker, similar to a cardiac pacemaker 

changed so that the feeling of satiety lasts longer and the stomach is emptied more slowly. The gastric pacemaker is implanted under the skin of the abdomen, the electrodes on the stomach are inserted using a laparoscopy technique.

 

Chances of success

The gastric pacemaker is a very new therapy concept. It appears that a gastric pacemaker leads to less weight loss than other surgical methods. Diabetic patients also respond much better to insulin. Corresponding studies are still ongoing.

 

The abiliti system offers severely overweight patients a method of treatment that results in significant weight loss without the typical side effects of other surgical procedures.

 

"Although procedures such as gastric banding, gastric tube formation and gastric bypass are very effective treatment methods for obesity, they sometimes interfere irreversibly with the anatomy of the digestive tract and are often associated with side effects.

 

"With the abiliti system, patients can successfully reduce their weight without the major limitations of other surgical procedures. The new form of treatment aims to improve eating and drinking behavior with the help of a faster feeling of satiety and the recording of nutritional and activity data to change permanently in the patient. "

 

The abiliti system is implanted in a minimally invasive surgical procedure. After activating the electronic device, it registers the consumption of solid and liquid food and sends low-energy impulses to the stomach. This stimulation creates a feeling of satiety before the stomach is really full. As a result, the patient eats less and successfully loses weight. Patients are not subject to any restrictions on the type of food they eat, but they are encouraged to eat well and exercise regularly.

 

The novel gastric pacemaker simultaneously uses a sensor to document when a patient eats, drinks and is physically active. The patient and doctor can view the recorded nutrition and activity data via a simple wireless connection. The access to this "nutrition logbook" is of great use for the patient and the attending physician, since with the help of this information the eating behavior of the patient can be jointly analyzed and effective strategies for weight loss can be developed.

 

At the beginning of the year, after successful clinical testing, the abiliti system from IntraPace (Mountain View, USA) received the CE mark and thus the approval for commercial marketing in Europe.

SILS stands for Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery.

 

In contrast to “traditional” laparoscopic surgery, in which 3-5 short (10mm) skin incisions distributed over the abdomen are usually selected as access, with the SILS technique only an incision of 15-20 mm is made.

 

This skin incision deep in the navel leads to the end of the operation to an invisible or barely visible scar, which disappears in the navel.

 

The navel is not only the geographical center of the human being, but also enables the easiest and most safe access to the abdominal cavity. After the skin incision, the actual abdominal wall is displayed and three small working sleeves are inserted through the abdominal wall into the abdomen. In addition to an optical system with a camera, two sleeves for instruments are inserted into the abdominal cavity.
