Mini Gastric Bypass Surgeries

Mini Gastric Bypass Surgeries, which have an important place among obesity surgery operations; are the surgeries that are comfortable, reliable, provides effective results and give the patient a fast recovery time and the opportunity to return to social life in a short time. Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery, which is performed through small holes opened in the abdomen without large incisions in the body, which we call the closed method, is one of the most effective methods in weight loss and in leaving behind concomitant diseases due to obesity.

Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery is an operation that both reduces stomach volume and restricts absorption in the intestines.

How are Mini Gastric Bypass Surgeries applied?

As mentioned above, in Mini Gastric Bypass Surgeries performed with the closed method, a small stomach, which we can call a gastric tube, is created first at the stomach entrance. This new and small-volume stomach is stitched to the small intestine by skipping an average of 2 meters of the small intestine, and then a new nutrition tract is created. This part of the surgery is the part that reduces the food intake of the patients after surgery. In Mini Gastric Bypass Surgeries performed under general anesthesia, no organ is cut and removed. With the small stomach created from the old, bulky stomach, the digestive tract is rearranged, while the remaining parts of the stomach are not intervened. While remaining in the patient, they only lose their basic functions in the digestive tract.

This surgery, in which a large part of the stomach is disabled, is very comfortable and reliable when performed by a specialist surgeon. 

Who are suitable for Mini Gastric Bypass Surgeries?

Mini Gastric Bypass Surgeries, which are used in the treatment of obesity and associated diseases caused by type 2 diabetes, are suitable operations for patients with a body mass index of 35 and above. 

Are there any risks of Mini Gastric Bypass Surgeries?

Mini Gastric Bypass Surgeries are also successful and effective operations, as well as having risks in themselves. Bile reflux, dumping syndrome, vitamin and mineral deficiencies that may occur due to decreased absorption are among the risks of Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery.
