Mini-gastric bypass: a solution for fighting obesity
Mini-gastric bypass, also known as the one-anastomosis gastric bypass, is a modern and highly effective method in bariatric surgery. This procedure combines the advantages of traditional gastric bypass with less complexity and risks, providing patients with a reliable path to significant weight loss and improved overall health.
Understanding mini-gastric bypass
During a mini-gastric bypass surgery, surgeons create a small stomach pouch and connect it directly to the small intestine, bypassing part of the stomach and the duodenum. This leads to a reduction in the amount of food consumed and decreased absorption of calories and nutrients, promoting effective weight loss. The procedure combines restrictive and malabsorptive mechanisms, providing more sustainable results compared to other methods.
Who is recommended for mini-gastric bypass
Mini-gastric bypass is suitable for patients with a body mass index (BMI) over 40, as well as those with a BMI over 35 who have accompanying conditions such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension. Studies show that this method is particularly effective for patients with metabolic disorders, providing rapid improvement in metabolism.
Modern bariatric surgery strives to enhance the safety and effectiveness of procedures. Laparoscopic techniques allow surgeries to be performed through small incisions, reducing recovery time and postoperative pain. The use of advanced technologies such as intraoperative fluorescence increases the precision and safety of surgical interventions. Additionally, emphasis is placed on an individualized approach, considering each patient's unique characteristics to achieve optimal results.
Effectiveness of mini-gastric bypass
- Significant weight loss: patients lose on average from 60% to 80% of excess body weight within the first two years after surgery.
- Improvement in metabolic parameters: over 90% of patients report remission of type 2 diabetes and normalization of blood glucose levels.
- Long-term results: maintenance of achieved weight is observed in 70–80% of patients within five years after surgery.
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases: normalization of blood pressure and cholesterol levels significantly decreases the likelihood of developing heart conditions.
