This procedure is an endoscopic application developed in recent years and performed in a few centers around the world. In this procedure, which is performed with special devices and advanced endoscopic equipment, the stomach is accessed through the mouth and endoscopic sutures are applied through the stomach and the stomach is reduced. In overweight people, the stomach volume is approximately 1500-2000 ml and with this procedure, the stomach volume is reduced to approximately 300 ml. During Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, no part of the stomach is cut and no part is removed.
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
This procedure is primarily for people with a body mass index above 30 and who cannot lose weight despite dieting. The patient is interviewed before the procedure. Additional diseases, medications, blood tests are evaluated and the patient’s expectations are learned. After the patient is given detailed information about the procedure, it is checked whether there is an obstacle in the stomach. For this, endoscopic control is performed before the procedure. The stomach is checked especially for conditions such as gastric hernia, gastritis, ulcers and tumors. In the presence of gastritis and ulcers, the procedure should be performed after these problems are treated. If there is a tumor, no procedure is performed.
In people who do not have such problems in the control endoscopy, it is recommended to start stomach protectors that reduce stomach acid before the procedure.
People are evaluated by an anesthesiologist before the procedure. Because this endoscopic procedure is performed under anesthesia. If no problem is detected in the anesthesia examination and blood tests, the day of the procedure is determined.
Endoscopic stomach reduction requires fully equipped hospital conditions, the necessary technological infrastructure and an experienced team. The procedure takes approximately 90 minutes. Since the person will be under anesthesia during this period, he/she will not feel any pain, ache, nausea and will not remember the procedure. During the procedure, a special endoscopy device and a special suture apparatus placed at the end of this device are used to shrink the stomach by suturing through the stomach and the procedure is completed.
This suture material can remain in the stomach for a long time and is resistant to stomach acid; it does not need to be removed afterwards.
Within a few months after the procedure, the stomach can be restored by cutting the stitches in the stomach. However, even if the stitches are cut after this period, the stomach cannot return to its former state as the stitched parts will be stuck to each other. This is actually an advantage in terms of the permanence of the procedure.
The tissues in the stomach that have been shrunk by suturing fuse over time and remain in the stomach as shrunken but living tissue. Thanks to the tissues sticking to each other, the stomach does not open and thus its volume does not expand. The sutured parts remain in the stomach and no part of the stomach is cut out. The fact that no part of the stomach is removed ensures that the stomach continues to make enough acid, unlike in surgeries, and prevents digestive complaints. There is also no iron and vitamin deficiency.
