Bariatric surgery

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is a type of surgical procedure designed to help individuals who are severely overweight or obese lose weight. This type of surgery is typically recommended for individuals who have not been successful with other weight loss methods, such as diet and exercise, and who have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with one or more obesity-related health conditions.

There are several different types of bariatric surgery procedures, but they all aim to restrict the amount of food a person can eat, or decrease the absorption of calories and nutrients in the body. Some common types of bariatric surgery include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric banding, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch.

Bariatric surgery can help individuals achieve significant weight loss, which can lead to improvements in a range of health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain. 

Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric bypass surgery is a procedure that involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to the pouch. This limits the amount of food you can eat and the amount of nutrients your body absorbs, resulting in significant weight loss. Istanbul's top hospitals offer gastric bypass surgery using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery, to reduce pain and recovery time.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy is a procedure that involves removing a portion of the stomach to create a smaller, banana-shaped stomach pouch. This limits the amount of food you can eat and helps you feel full faster, leading to weight loss. Our partner hospitals offer sleeve gastrectomy using advanced techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery, to improve precision and reduce the risk of complications.

Gastric Banding

Gastric banding, also known as lap band surgery, is a procedure that involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small stomach pouch. This limits the amount of food you can eat and helps you feel full faster, leading to weight loss. Our partner hospitals offer gastric banding using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery, to reduce pain and recovery time.

Gastric Balloon

Gastric balloon is a non-surgical procedure that involves placing a silicone balloon in the stomach to limit the amount of food you can eat and help you feel full faster. The balloon is inserted through the mouth and esophagus and inflated with saline solution. Istanbul's top hospitals offer gastric balloon using advanced techniques, including endoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures, to improve precision and reduce discomfort.

These procedures are performed by experienced surgeons using advanced techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery, to improve precision and reduce recovery time.
