Chirurgie Bypass Gastric (Roux en Y)

Ce reprezintă chirurgia bypass gastric (Roux en Y)?

Chirurgia bypass gastric, cunoscută și sub numele de Bypass Roux En Y și Bypass gastric complet, este una dintre cele mai populare intervenții chirurgicale bariatrice. Bypass-ul gastric are ca scop declanșarea scăderii în greutate prin modificări ale sistemului digestiv care limitează absorbția nutrienților. Stomacul este micșorat, iar intestinele eficiente sunt scurtate.

Bypassul gastric este recomandat pacienților care sunt obezi și nu pot slăbi prin dietă și exerciții fizice. Bypass-ul gastric este recomandat și pacienților care doresc să treacă printr-o intervenție chirurgicală bariatrică, dar care suferă de reflux acid cauzat de herniile hiatale.

După bypass gastric, alimentele înghițite vor intra într-o pungă mică remodelată a stomacului și apoi direct în intestin, ocolind astfel cea mai mare parte a stomacului și primele 4,9 până la 6,6 feet (150 - 200 cm) ale intestinului subțire.

Procedura Roux En Y poartă numele după modificările aduse sistemului digestiv în timpul acesteia. Roux En Y înseamnă în formă de Y. Procedura împarte stomacul și intestinul subțire, conectând fiecare segment nou împreună pentru a forma o formă de Y.

De ce se efectuează intervenția de bypass gastric (Roux en Y)?

Obezitatea a devenit o pandemie în ultimele decenii și a scăzut substanțial speranța de viață și calitatea multora. Bypass-ul gastric este utilizat pentru a trata obezitatea și afecțiunile medicale legate de obezitate. Bypass-ul gastric ameliorează refluxul gastroesofagian, bolile de inimă, hipertensiunea arterială, colesterolul crescut, apneea în somn și diabetul de tip 2. Bypass-ul gastric nu tratează aceste afecțiuni doar prin pierderea în greutate, ci prin modificările de durată aduse sistemului digestiv.

Metodele chirurgicale, cum ar fi bypass-ul gastric, sunt adesea recomandate dacă pacientul este obez morbid în așa măsură încât nici măcar dieta și exercițiile fizice nu sunt suficiente pentru a ajuta pacientul să slăbească.

Bypass-ul gastric, ca și Manșonul gastric, se efectuează laparoscopic, adică folosind găuri mici de cheie în loc să deschidă abdomenul.

Care sunt condițiile intervenției de bypass gastric (Roux en Y)?

Cerințele Bypass-ului gastric sunt similare cu cele ale Manșonului gastric. În caz dacă un pacient se califică pentru bypass gastric sau dacă este recomandat bypass-ul gastric, decizia finală este luată de echipa noastră de bariatrie, iată câteva dintre criteriile de calificare pe care echipa noastră de bariatrie le folosește pentru manșonul gastric:

  • Este necesar un indice de masă corporală, IMC, de cel puțin 35 sau o afecțiune legată de obezitate cu un IMC de 30.

  • Nu trebuie să fi fost testat pozitiv pentru Covid cu o lună înainte de operație.

  • Nu trebuie să aibă polipi stomacali.

  • Nu trebuie să aibă o infecție activă în momentul intervenției chirurgicale.

  • Bolile cronice, cum ar fi bolile tiroidiene, boala Crohn, diabetul etc., ar putea necesita teste suplimentare înainte de a ajunge în Turcia.

  • În prezent, dacă aveți sau aveți antecedente de boală, poate necesita o scrisoare de eligibilitate din partea medicului pacientului sau necesită consultații suplimentare după sosirea în Turcia.

What Are The Things To Be Considered Before Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y) Surgery?

After a patient qualifies for Gastric Bypass, their Patient Coordinator, along with a treatment schedule, will provide the patient with a Liver Fat Reducing Diet that has to be followed before arriving at the hospital. The patient should not consume any food or liquid 12 hours before the surgery. The following dietary and medicinal restrictions have to be followed before the surgery as well:

  • Usage of vitamin K should be stopped 30 days before surgery as it is an anticoagulant, i.e. blood thinner, and increases the rate of complications associated with internal bleeding.
  • Oral contraceptives and any other contraceptives that have estrogen or progesterone, like coils, HRT patches, or birth control implants, must be stopped or taken off 30 days before the surgery as they increase the rate of complications arising from blood clots. Hormonal and oral contraceptives can be used 30 days after surgery. Non-hormonal implants are safe and recommended if considering a Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y).
  • Smoking should be avoided starting a week before surgery until three weeks after surgery. Smoking causes the veins to constrict and limits blood circulation, potentially causing complications such as leakage.
  • Alcohol consumption should preferably be avoided in the last 3 months leading up to the surgery. Alcohol consumption a week before surgery should especially be avoided as it will increase the burden on the liver and might cause complications with anesthesia.
  • The patient will have a consultation with an internal diseases specialist, radiologist, anesthesiologist, and a general surgeon before the surgery.
  • Preoperative tests at the hospital will include full abdominal ultrasound, chest x-ray, breath functioning test, electrocardiogram, endoscopic investigation of the stomach, and full blood test as pre operation test and exams.

What Are The Things To Be Considered During Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y) Surgery?

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes 4 - 6 small cuts on certain points of the patient's abdomen. These help to insert the scope and needed instruments that will be used to perform the surgery.

A camera is inserted into the patient that is connected to a video monitor in the surgery room, the camera allows the surgeon to view the inside of the abdomen while operating.

The surgeon divides the stomach into a small upper pouch and a larger bottom section by using staples. Ingested food will go through the upper pouch, and the pouch has enough volume to hold about an ounce, around 28 grams, of food.

The surgeon then connects the Jejunum to the pouch. The food then passes from the small pouch to the new opening and into the small intestine causing the body to absorb less calories.

The surgeon, then, uses the stapler to divide the upper part of the small intestine into a tube with two ends. One end of the small intestine, the Roux limb, is brought up to the stomach pouch, and a small connection, an anastomosis, is made between them.

The other end of the small intestine is then connected to another part of the small intestine. At the end the surgeon may test for leaks with a dye study or an upper endoscopy.

Note that the unused parts of the stomach, unlike the Gastric Sleeve, are not removed.

Laparoscopic Gastric bypass surgery takes around 2-3 hours.

What Are The Things To Be Considered After Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y) Surgery?

Gastric Bypass prescriptions given to the patients after the operation will include blood thinner injections and stomach protectors. The medicine provided will include antibiotics and painkillers that should be used if needed. Booking Surgery dieticians will provide a diet list for each patient and will provide additional support if needed. The initial dietary restrictions post surgery will be as follows:

  • The patients will only consume liquids for the first 3 weeks following surgery. Also called the liquid stage, patients are advised to consume protein shakes, soups, herbal tea, etc.
  • The patients are advised to consume puree and liquid foods for the following 3 weeks. Also called the puree stage, patients are recommended to increase their diet by eating mash and blended foods.
  • After 6 weeks of liquid and puree stage, the patients can start consuming solid foods. After Gastric Bypass surgery, patients should never eat solid and liquid foods at the same time.
  • Additionally, patients should avoid caffeinated or carbonated drinks for 2 months following surgery, but decaffeinated coffee can be safely consumed 10 days after surgery.
  • Patients should also avoid smoking, alcohol, and any recreational drugs for at least 3 weeks following surgery.

Post surgery, some physical activities should be avoided as well:

  • Patients can go back to work 2 weeks after getting home if it's not a physically strenuous job.
  • Patients should avoid strenuous activity and sexual intercourse for the first month following surgery.
  • Patients should walk frequently and should not do any heavy lifting more than 5 KG for the first month following surgery and not more than 10 KG for the first 3 months after surgery.
  • Patients can start exercising to help the weight loss process 2 months after the surgery.

Additionally, the surgical stitches will dissolve on their own, but if they do not, patients should take an appointment from their GP to get them removed.

What are the Short-term Risks of Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y) Surgery?

Gastric Bypass Surgery, while considered relatively safe mainly due to it being done Laporoscipally, has some risks associated with it like any major surgery. These risk include:

  • Bleeding
  • Infections
  • Intestinal Obstruction
  • Leakage
  • General anesthesia complications
  • Blood clots
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis

Blood thinners and compression socks provided after surgery lower the likelihood of blood clots and deep vein thrombosis.

These risks most likely show up within the first month after surgery.

What are the Long-term Complications of Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y) Surgery?

The long-term complications of Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y) Surgery can be explained as follows:

Malnutrition:

Malnutrition occurs when the body is deprived of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed to maintain healthy tissue and organ function.

The long term side effects of Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y) Surgery, as a result of malnutrition, include:

  • Vomiting
  • Pain
  • Fatigue
  • Dry Skin
  • Mood Changes
  • Hair Loss
  • Hernias
  • Gastroesophageal reflux
  • Hypoglycemia

Gallstones:

During the rapid weight loss after Gastric Bypass surgery, approximately the first 6 months, gallstone formation increases by up to 20%.

Dumping syndrome:

Dumping syndrome is caused by the food and liquids in the stomach reaching the small intestine in a short time after gastric Bypass Surgery.

What To Do When Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y) Surgery Doesn't Work?

If the Roux En Y Gastric Bypass surgery is performed correctly by a certified surgeon, it has a very small risk of failure. The surgery is considered a failure if the patient regains the weight in a few years. Going back to old eating habits by forcibly overeating or frequently drinking carbonated drinks may cause the stomach to enlarge, therefore allowing weight regain.

Poor weight loss often leads to consideration of a revision surgery. In such a case, a revision from gastric bypass to gastric bypass might be performed by reducing the size of the dilated pouch or narrowing the Bypass surgery’s anastomosis.

What Are the Advantages Of Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y) Surgery?

Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y) is one of the most commonly performed types of bariatric surgery. The advantages of gastric bypass, which is considered the golden option for bariatric surgeries, can be listed as follows:

  • Gastric Bypass is reversible as parts of the old stomach are not removed from the abdomen.
  • Alleviates obesity-related health problems such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and acid reflux.
  • Within the first year after the surgery, patients lose 75% of their excess body weight, and 80% - 90% of their excess body weight within the first two years.
  • Less likely to gain back excess weight, unlike yo-yo dieting, the weight loss is usually for life.
  • Produces positive changes in intestinal hormones that reduce appetite and increase the feeling of fullness.
  • Decrease in excess weight alleviates the pressure on the knees and joints, increasing the recovery rate of osteoarthritis up to 85%.

What Are the Disadvantages of Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y) Surgery?

While Gastric bypass surgery has many advantages, it does possess some disadvantages that have to be considered before going through with the surgery. Some of the disadvantages include:

  • Fewer options when revision surgery is required.
  • Compared to other stomach reduction operations, the possibility of complications is higher since the operation involves a wider portion of the digestive system.
  • Although it is rare, as Gastric Bypass reduces absorption, vitamin deficiency may occur.
  • Bariatric vitamin supplements have to be taken permanently after the operation.
  • Endoscopy becomes harder to perform on the patient after the Gastric Bypass, but is still possible.

How much weight can you lose with gastric bypass surgery?

The patients, on average, lose 80% of their excess body weight within a year, their weight loss slows down afterward and stabilizes near their target weight.

The rate and amount of weight loss vary greatly from person to person, and according to lifestyle choices and eating habits of the patient as well as their gender and age.

How painful is gastric bypass surgery?

Like the Gastric Sleeve Surgery, the patient is under general anesthesia during the Gastric Bypass Surgery, so there is no pain during the procedure. Gastric Bypass has a comfortable healing process as the surgery is performed laparoscopically with only a few keyhole incisions. Painkillers are provided to prevent any pain after surgery as well. Gas pain occurs due to the modifications made to the digestive system, and patients are encouraged to start walking just 4 hours after the surgery to combat the gas pain

How long does gastric bypass surgery take?

The operation, on average, takes 1.5 - 2 hours. Aiming to provide a robust post operative experience, total hospital stay is around 5 days where the patient remains under surveillance in a fully equipped hospital room until discharge. Booking Surgery provides full hospital stays for each Bariatric Surgery to prevent possible complications.

Who can have gastric bypass surgery?

Gastric Bypass provides the same advantages for obesity related conditions as Gastric Sleeve Surgery. While Sleeve Gastrectomy exacerbates Acid Reflux, Gastric Bypass eliminates all symptoms of Acid Reflux. But, Sleeve Gastrectomy does not modify the intestines, is a simpler and shorter procedure, and does not complicate future colonoscopies. Both surgeries have pros and cons that make them unique, they offer a trade off between complexity and effectiveness. Neither is better than the other, and the Bariatric Surgeon recommendation should be followed.

Which is better: Roux-en-Y or Gastric Sleeve?

Different criteria are evaluated to ensure that gastric bypass surgery is an appropriate procedure for the patient. Patient’s medical history, body mass index, and personal weight loss goals are important factors in determining whether they are a suitable candidate for Gastric Bypass. If the patient suffers from Acid Reflux, the most appropriate bariatric operation is Gastric Bypass, because Acid Reflux is greatly alleviated after Gastric Bypass Surgery. Patients have to have a Body Mass Index, BMI, higher than 30 or must be suffering from obesity related conditions to meet the eligibility criteria.

What are possible side effects of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass?

  • Vitamin and Mineral Deficiency
  • Hair loss: Hair loss is due to weight loss experienced after obesity surgeries. Vitamins such as Biotin alleviate it to a degree.
  • Bleeding
  • Infections
  • Intestinal Obstruction
  • Leakage
  • General anesthesia complications
  • Blood clots
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis

Can you gain weight after the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass?

As with other bariatric surgery methods, there is no guarantee that weight loss will be permanent after Gastric Bypass Surgery. Having an active lifestyle, and keeping a healthy diet will make weight regain less likely.
 

Is Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass permanent?

Gastric Bypass Surgery, without medical intervention, is permanent. And if the patient has a habit of eating healthy and staying away from foods and drinks that will enlarge their stomach,the weight loss is permanent as well. Gastric Bypass, if needed, can be reversed through a laparoscopic procedure.

How long do you stay in the hospital after the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass?

Total hospital stay is around 5 days, 4 days of which are after the surgery. Booking Surgery aims to provide a robust post operative experience while the patient remains under surveillance in a fully equipped hospital room until discharge, therefore providing a full hospital stay to prevent possible complications.

Is the stomach removed in the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass?

Roux En Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) surgery technique involves the creation of a new stomach with a volume of 15 - 30 cc, the old stomach is kept passive and does not assist with digestion. Since the old stomach is still present in the body, Roux En Y Gastric Bypass does not remove the stomach.

What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?

Body mass index (BMI) or height-weight index is a calculation method that shows the estimated fat content of a person's body. This method is based on the person's height to weight ratio. According to the result of the index, the proximity and distance of the person's current weight to his/her ideal weight can be calculated

How is Body Mass Index Calculated?

Body mass index is calculated by dividing the body weight by the square of the height (kg/m⊃2;).

Results below 18.5 kg/m⊃2;: Below ideal weight

Results between 18.5 kg/m⊃2; and 24.9 kg/m⊃2;: Ideal weight

Results between 25 kg/m⊃2; and 29, 9 kg/m⊃2;: Above ideal weight

Results between 30 kg/m⊃2; and 39, 9 kg/m⊃2;: Above ideal weight (obese)

Results above 40 kg/m⊃2;: Above ideal weight (morbidly obese)

 

What Do Body Mass Index Results Mean?

Body mass index calculation does not include factors such as fat ratio, body type, fat and muscle tissue. For this reason, experts obtain more detailed information about the person's weight problem by measuring the metabolic rate and detailed body analysis, in addition to measuring the body mass index and waist circumference in calculating the ideal weight. The fact that the person is above or below the ideal weight should be evaluated by the physician together with other factors. Action should be taken together with the physician to eliminate existing health problems and prevent possible health problems.

In men, if the waist circumference exceeds 94 cm, it is considered an increased risk, and if it exceeds 102 cm, it is considered high risk. In women, this ratio is considered increased risk if it exceeds 80 cm and high risk if it exceeds 88 cm.

Obesity Calculation with Detailed Body Mass Index

In calculating obesity with detailed body mass index, it can be learned whether the weight, body fat percentage and waist circumference are within normal values, taking into account age and gender.

First of all, it is very important for the diagnosis and treatment of obesity to know where the fat tissue accumulates in the body. The way fat tissue accumulates in the body can be divided into two as apple type and pear type.

In apple type obesity, fat accumulates around the belly. In pear type obesity, it is observed to accumulate in the hips and thighs. However, the fat accumulated around the navel is considered to be more dangerous and has a higher risk of heart disease than the fat accumulated in the hips and thighs.

Danny Fowler-Gill reviewed I would recommend booking surgery for 360fdl

I would recommend booking surgery whole heartedly. My coordinator has been there for me for the whole 11 months of booking my procedure has answered questions quickly and efficiently and as been on hand for anything. I had a 360 FDL with DR. Fatih I would recommend his work especially on a male body! I was at Yassam hospital where Dr. fatih works from the hospital was clean, our room was cleaned multiple times a day and bedding changed there’s is male nurses as well as female nurses to assist with care and nothing was too much of a problem. Theatre skaters are on hand 24 hours a day and are based at the hospital so if there was ever a language barrier it was resolved quickly and effectively. I’m extremely happy with the results I have received. Rossie has been in touch since returning home which is also a nice touch.

Gary Ricks reviewed I booked to have a gastric sleeve and…

I booked to have a gastric sleeve and the whole process from booking all the way through to returning home was amazing. Bookingsurgery.com were really helpful and very clear on what the plan was to make it very easy and not stressful. David Turker was my support and through the whole process he communicated again making it not stressful at all, the staff at the hospital couldn't do enough for you and it was like going to a private hospital in England where they really want to care for you.

Hannah Jeffries reviewed Better than the service in the UK

Was very anxious at first but was recommended from a friend and I'm so pleased I went with it! I originally paid £300 for a consultation in the UK with a private UK hospital and received such a unwelcoming money making doctor who wanted £10K for the lift then was making me then pay for the implants separately! So I lost hope from this. Each doctor has different prices from Booking but they are all somewhat similar. But the value of money and the service received was beyond what I had in the UK. And I really appreciated being in hospital for longer than I would have in the UK as it was difficult moving etc. Translators are there all the time so never have to worry about miscommunication. Plus Google translate comes in handy too. My partner came with me which was great (I do recommend, if possible) he was looked after too!

Joanne M reviewed Great experience

Had a great experience with booking surgery when I went for my 360 FDL 6 weeks ago. I really felt as though I was in safe hands and couldn't be happier with my results. I'd recommend this company to anyone. So much so I'm going back next year!

Tammi reviewed Seamless from beginning to end.

Seamless from beginning to end. My coordinator Chloe, has been amazing. I never waited long for a reply to any of my questions. She's super friendly and helpful. My surgeon Dr Omer was amazing from my first meeting with him, to my final check before flying home. I am amazed by my results, I was hoping for great results and they're even better than I'd imagined. The nurses are so wonderful. Always happy to help, with a smile on their faces. The translators are such sweethearts too. The standards within the hospital are way beyond what we have in the UK. The food is okay, not always to my taste but I wasn't that bothered because my appetite dropped a fair bit during my stay. We got offered to stay in a hotel for our last night and I'm so glad. It was a 5* suite and I slept for a full 9 hours, felt like a new person in the morning. Thank you so much to everyone at Bookingsurgery.com

Marta Nyga reviewed Highly recomending Booking surgery…
