Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the simpler procedures in weight loss metabolic surgery. During the operation, the surgeon only needs to remove the stomach in the direction of the greater curvature of the stomach, without having to reconstruct the gastrointestinal tract as in other procedures, so this procedure has been favored by many doctors and patients because of its low operating difficulty, high safety, and short operating time. However, the procedure can be very demanding on the surgeon. Sleeve Gastrectomy is more than just a simple stomach cut Many people think that sleeve gastrectomy is simply a way to reduce the size of the stomach and eat less so that weight can be controlled. But the reality is that sleeve stomach surgery is much more than that. In addition to being a container for food, our stomach is also an important digestive organ responsible for the initial digestion of food. For example, the innermost layer of the stomach wall, where various gastric glandular cells are distributed, these cells secrete various substances such as gastric acid, proteases, and some gastrointestinal hormones. And the stomach also has a strong ability to stretch, through the contraction and expansion of the cells of the stomach wall, the stomach in different states of the volume has a difference of dozens of times. In an empty stomach, the normal stomach is only about 50ml, but when the stomach is stuffed with food, its volume can reach 1500ml or even 2000ml. All these factors need to be taken into consideration when doing stomach reduction surgery, and the final result will be different due to the difference in surgical experience and proficiency of different doctors. For the general public who do not understand medical technology, how can they tell the level of the surgeon’s surgical skills? A surgeon with a large number of cases will know how to minimize the risk and grasp the position of the incision more accurately based on his previous surgical experience, and the patient’s postoperative feedback such as the speed of recovery, adverse reactions, and complications will be relatively better under their supervision. For most people, they only have one chance to have a sleeve gastrectomy, and when choosing a medical institution, they should prioritize their safety and surgical results. In addition to choosing a medical institution with excellent credentials, it is also best to choose a surgeon with extensive surgical experience, so that you can judge whether the medical institution and surgeon are able to provide you with a satisfactory result by looking at past cases.
