SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY
The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a bariatric procedure in which the surgeon removes approximately 85% of the stomach, shaping the remaining stomach into a tube or “sleeve”. It can be used as a first stage operation prior to a gastric bypass or as a definite procedure.
What are the advantages of the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy?
During the laparoscopic gastric sleeve the nerves of the stomach and the outlet valve (pylorus) are not altered, preserving the function of the stomach. Other advantages:
- The rest of the gastrointestinal tract anatomy is not altered, so the food ingested follows the normal course. This results in less chance of developing lack of vitamins and minerals and eliminates dumping syndrome.
- The procedure decreases significantly the hunger by removing the part of the stomach that produces the main stimulating hormones.
- Minimize the chance of developing ulcers.
How is the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy performed?
In the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy the stomach is divided along its vertical length in order to create a slender pouch. The excess stomach is removed. The purpose is to limit the amount of food ingested at any give time (restrictive operation), without altering the normal absorption of the vitamins and minerals.
How Does the Sleeve Gastrectomy Cause Weight-Loss?
Sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure. It greatly reduces the size of the stomach and limits the
amount of food that can be eaten at one time. It does not cause decreased absorption of nutrients or
bypass the intestines.
After this surgery, patients feel full after eating very small amounts of food. Sleeve gastrectomy may
also cause a decrease in appetite. In addition to reducing the size of the stomach, the procedure reduces
the amount of the “hunger hormone,” ghrelin, produced by the stomach.
