Revision Surgery

GASTRIC BYPASS REVISION Gastric bypass surgeries are generally very powerful operations and therefore very few patients require revision. However, if the patient does not follow the nutritional rules and consumes increasing amounts of food, enlargement may occur in the stoma, which is a stomach pouch and gastrointestinal passage, over time. In this case, either endoscopic narrowing of the pouch can be tried or surgically performed. Another method other than narrowing the stoma is to lower the bypass area, that is, to increase the absorption disruptive effect a little more. SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY (TUBE STOMACH SURGERY) REVISION The need for revision after sleeve gastrectomy arises for two reasons. The first of these is that an excessive stomach is left in the surgery. The other reason is that the stomach has the capacity to expand over time. There are two options for a patient who has regained weight after sleeve gastrectomy. The first of these is to re-sleeve, the other is to convert it to another obesity surgery such as gastric bypass or duodenal switch.
