Sisli Kolan International has the Obesity Surgery Center. Patients are treated by an interdisciplinary team of specialists, including surgeons, endocrinologists, nutritionists, psychologists, and cardiologists. Doctors individually select a treatment, depending on the degree of obesity and other factors.
Endoscopic procedures include:
Stomach ballooning is a placement of an intragastric inflatable balloon for a period of 6 months to 1 year. The balloon will occupy part of the stomach cavity, providing a feeling of satiety with a small amount of food.
Stomach Botox is the introduction of Botox into the gastric muscles in order to reduce their contraction and reduce acidity. This slows down the digestion process and dulls the feeling of hunger for 4-6 months.
Doctors perform these procedures using gastroscopy for 15-20 minutes under sedation on an outpatient basis.
Surgeons of the center perform bariatric operations on patients:
sleeve gastrectomy is the removal of most of the organ and the formation of a “tubular” stomach, which ensures rapid saturation when eating a small amount of food;
gastric bypass is a “turning off” of most of the stomach and small intestine from digestion, which allows patients to eat less food.
These operations are laparoscopic. Surgeons need 3-4 incisions less than 1 cm long to perform them. Patients return to normal life after a maximum of 5-7 days.
Foreign patients are consulted and operated on by the leading specialist in bariatric surgery of the Kolan Hospital Group network and Professor Sadik Yildirim (Pr.Dr. Sadik Yildirim).
