Stomach ruffles latest obesity surgery fashion

A woman asks: What are the new procedures in the treatment of obesity, since I am obese, and I could not do different dietary systems known?

This question is answered by Dr. Fahim Bessioni, Professor of Laparoscopic Surgery at Cairo University School of Medicine: Gastric bypass operations started in 1969, gastric belt surgeries started in the mid-1970s, gastric staples in the early 1980s and then laparoscopic surgery in the early 1990s.

New surgeries related to obesity have been developed, such as gastric reduction and longitudinal gastrectomy, and recently the operations of the stomach or "tingle", in this surgery the surgeon does not need to remove part of the stomach, and can be consulted at any time, and this leads to the reduction of the problems of miniaturization operations The stomach also reduces the cost, where the size of the stomach is reduced without actosion or cutting.

Dr. Fahim adds: Safety in this way is much higher, knowing that the process of gastric ruffles has not been approved extensively so that it can be judged definitively, and we have begun its trial in Egypt on 30 patients in the eye palace, and the initial results are good so far, where the operations of gastric ruffles are characterized by not There is a removal of the stomach or changing the course of food, and consequently fewer problems, changing the course of the stomach reduces the absorption of food and leads to the reduction of elements of vitamins, in addition to some complications such as infusion, and may have serious consequences and sometimes result in some cases of blockage and also ulcers.

As for the gastric belt is a belt that is mounted on top of the stomach, so that the stomach is divided into two parts: a small section receives food and does not exceed the size of the cup of coffee, and the second section represents the rest of the stomach, and this process is characterized by easy operation, and that it can control the belt that divides the stomach, as well as It can be consulted at any time by removing the belt, but one of its most important drawbacks is the use of a foreign body inside the abdomen, which is the belt, as it has its problems, and one of its most important defects is frequent vomiting and inability to eat meat, in addition to reflux problems, as the ability of the belt to lose weight is low, due to the direction of some pain Satisfied with eating sweets because they can't eat other foods, and if the patient is obese, he can't do the gastric band, and she can only lose 50% of the excess weight.

Dr. Bessioni points out that gastric sleeve surgery is a simpler process of conversion, less problems and results are approaching conversion, and the idea of conversion is to remove three to four fifths of the stomach, so that the part of the hunger hormone is removed, and the size of the stomach is reduced to a real smallness.
