The problems experienced in all areas from bones to vessels that come with weight gain should not be ignored and must be solved.
The Best Way to Lose Excess Weight: Duodenal Switch
Switch surgery, which is frequently preferred in the treatment of obesity disease, is a surgical operation that combines sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass methods. It is possible to lose weight in a short time and get rid of current problems such as diabetes and hypertension in a short time with Duodenal Switch surgery.
In Switch surgery, which takes place in two steps including sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass, approximately 80% of the stomach is removed. With sleeve gastrectomy, the stomach is made into a thin tube and the stomach is designed with a volume of 120 ml. Then, for bypass formation, the intestine, i.e., duodenum, is separated and a common channel is opened in two separate ways. Under normal circumstances, foods that are expected to go to the intestine after sleeve gastrectomy in the person’s diet are directed to the lower part of the small intestine. Due to the reduction in stomach volume, the patient reaches satiety in a shorter time by eating less. With the shortening of the pathways in the intestines, the patient’s intestines absorb less food and the amount of calories remaining in the body from nutrients is thus reduced.
Bypass can be performed 6-18 months after the patient who undergoes sleeve gastrectomy operation. For this reason, there is no obligation for the person to have surgery at the same time for the Duodenal Switch operation performed with two surgical methods. This decision is made by the patient and doctor.
What Surgical Methods Can Be Used in Duodenal Switch Surgery?
Different surgical methods can be used in Duodenal Switch surgery according to the patient’s condition and the doctor’s decision. These methods are specified below.
Open Surgery
“Open duodenal switch surgery,” which is among open surgical operations, can cause aesthetic problems because it is performed with the help of a large incision, and the post-operative recovery time is prolonged. Although doctors prefer to perform surgery using laparoscopic methods, this method is preferred if a problem is experienced during the operation.
Robotic Surgery (Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery)
In addition to laparoscopic methods, robotic surgical methods can also be used in Duodenal Switch surgery. In this method, while one surgeon performs the surgery by entering through the patient’s abdomen, the other surgeon both watches the surgery and transmits the necessary materials to the surgeon.
Doctors performing surgery quite like this method because it is possible to magnify the image up to 16 times in 3D thanks to the robotic surgical camera. With robotic surgery that can be successfully applied with small incisions, the problem of the surgeon’s hand trembling is also eliminated.
Laparoscopic Surgery (Minimally Invasive Surgery)
In laparoscopic duodenal switch surgery performed with closed surgery technique, the operation is performed with millimetric incisions from the abdomen and 2 and 3-dimensional images are used.
What are the Reactions After Duodenal Switch Surgery?
You must go for a check-up in the first week after Duodenal Switch surgery so that examinations can be performed to prevent problems such as acute complications and fluid consumption. The duration of these check-ups is repeated at intervals of 1 to 12 months over time. Doctors who evaluate biochemistry tests support the treatment by also directing you to a nutrition specialist. In case of vitamin or mineral deficiency, your doctor will want to see you again and start treatment.
Examinations are performed at certain intervals to check whether everything is going well in patients. Patients who lose weight with a more active lifestyle by changing their eating habits continue to be followed.
