Revisional surgery is a procedure performed when a previous bariatric surgery does not produce the desired results or when certain health problems arise over time. Such surgeries may be required in cases such as failure to achieve weight loss goals, weight regain, or the development of anatomical and physiological problems with the stomach. Revisional surgery can also be performed to address complications such as nutritional deficiencies, gastric ulcers, gastric outlet stenosis that occur after the initial surgery.

Revisional Surgery

Since revisional surgery is usually more complex and risky, the patient's condition is evaluated in detail and extensive tests are performed before the surgery. The surgery can be performed using laparoscopic methods, but sometimes open surgery may be required.

Sleeve Gastric Revision Surgery

Sleeve gastric revision surgery is a procedure performed to correct complications after sleeve gastrectomy or to address situations such as failure to achieve weight loss goals. This surgery is suitable for patients who have had a sleeve gastrectomy but have not achieved satisfactory results or have had complications after the surgery.

Reasons for Sleeve Gastrectomy Revision Surgery:

Inadequate Weight Loss: Failure to achieve the expected weight loss after the first surgery.

Regaining Weight: Despite initial weight loss, weight regain over time.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Some patients may experience excessive acid production and stomach contents refluxing into the esophagus after sleeve gastrectomy.

Gastric Disorders: Anatomical changes such as reshaping or expansion of the stomach.

Revision Procedures:

Re-Sleeve Gastrectomy: The stomach becomes more is reduced and reshaped. This may be preferred, especially for patients with stomach expansion.

Conversion to Gastric Bypass: In some cases, sleeve gastrectomy can be converted to gastric bypass for greater weight loss and more effective control of acid reflux problems.

Preparation and Recovery for Revisional Surgery

Revisional surgery can be more challenging than the initial bariatric surgery and has a higher risk of complications. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation is performed before surgery:

Medical Evaluation: The patient's current health status, why the initial surgery failed, and potential risks are evaluated.

Psychological Support: It is necessary for the patient to adapt to diet and lifestyle changes after surgery.

Recovery Process: The patient's recovery process may vary depending on the type and extent of the surgery. Patients must follow a strict diet and follow-up program in the postoperative period.

Sleeve gastric revision surgery can provide an effective solution for appropriate patients to restart weight loss and improve their quality of life. However, patient selection, preoperative preparation and postoperative follow-up are very important in this process. It is recommended that patients consult an experienced bariatric surgeon in detail before considering this type of surgery.
