Bariatrics

Longitudinal gastric resection is a laparoscopic operation in which most of the body of the stomach is removed, a longitudinal tube is formed, but all the physiological valves (cardiac sphincter, pylorus) are preserved, which allows to preserve the physiology of the digestive process. After resection, the stomach turns from a large sac into a narrow tube with a diameter of about 1.5 cm, with a volume of no more than 100-120 ml. By reducing the volume of the stomach, the amount of food consumed decreases, which contributes to effective and stable weight loss. Another feature of this operation is that in the part of the stomach that is being removed there is a zone that produces ghrelin (the hormone responsible for hunger), so after the operation, the constant and indomitable feeling of hunger disappears, from which most obese patients suffer. Unlike an intragastric balloon, breast cancer is a more physiological operation, since it does not involve the location of a foreign body in the body.
