Sleeve gasterectomy part 1

strectomy by endoscopy procedure Sleeve gastrectomy by endoscopy is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that involves reducing the size of the stomach. Unlike traditional sleeve gastrectomy surgery, which requires making large incisions in the abdomen, the endoscopic procedure is performed through the mouth and esophagus, using a flexible tube with a camera and surgical tools attached to the end. During the procedure, the surgeon inserts the endoscope into the patient's mouth and down the esophagus to reach the stomach. Once inside the stomach, the surgeon uses the surgical tools to remove a large portion of the stomach, leaving a narrow tube-shaped "sleeve" that connects the esophagus to the small intestine. This restricts the amount of food that the patient can consume and causes them to feel full more quickly. Endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is generally considered to be a safe and effective weight loss option for people who are obese or severely overweight. However, as with any medical procedure, there are risks and potential complications, including bleeding, infection, and damage to the esophagus or stomach. Patients should discuss the benefits and risks of this procedure with their doctor to determine if it is the right choice for them.
