Gastric Bypass

In Gastric Bypass surgeries, a large part of the stomach is bypassed and a small volume (approximately 30-50 cc) stomach section is prepared and sutured to the small intestines. In this surgery, as in other Obesity Surgery operations, it is aimed to reduce the volume of the stomach and to disable a part of the intestines and to throw away some of the consumed food without being absorbed. Thus, patients are satiated with less food, and some of the food they take is absorbed.

There are types of Gastric Bypass Surgery such as Roux-n-Y and Mini Gastric Bypass. Gastric Bypass surgery within the scope of Obesity Surgery is the most frequently performed surgery in our hospital apart from Tube Stomach surgery.
