Gastric Sleeve Revision

Gastric Sleeve Revision

Gastric sleeve revision is a surgical procedure performed to correct or improve the outcomes of a previous sleeve gastrectomy. Sleeve gastrectomy is a commonly used method in the treatment of obesity, but sometimes unexpected situations or complications may arise. Gastric sleeve revision is applied to address these issues, enhance the effectiveness of the sleeve, and assist the patient in achieving their weight loss goals.

Why Gastric Sleeve Revision May Be Necessary

• Insufficient Weight Loss: The expected weight loss may not have occurred after the initial sleeve gastrectomy.
• Sleeve Dilation: The sleeve may expand, reducing its effectiveness.
• Reflux Problems: Issues like reflux or the passage of stomach contents into the esophagus may arise.
• Complications: Complications may have developed during or after the initial surgery.

Advantages of Gastric Sleeve Revision

• Enhancing Weight Loss: Revision may help increase the expected weight loss.
• Restoring Sleeve Effectiveness: Restoring the effectiveness of the sleeve.
