Diabetes Surgery

Transit bipartition operation is a successful technique for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes and also obesity. As the first step, the obesity will be treated with sleeve tube procedure. The volume of the stomach will be reduced and a tube stomach is left behind. As the second step of the operation, the last part of the intestine is added as a second path underneath for the diabetes treatment.

The food that passes through the tube stomach can now go either “normal way” through the pylorus, through the duodenum into the small intestine, or it can go directly into the lower small intestine and set there hormonal mechanisms in motion, that on the one hand leads to an early satiety and, on the other hand, bring about a rapid improvement in the metabolic situation. In this respect, the fact that part of the food goes the normal way, it does not come to the phenomena of malabsorption. However, in adapting to the new biological situation of the body after surgery, vitamin and iron mineral deficiencies may occur in patients, and initially, patients may take medicines to compensate for the deficiency. In the long term, about 95% of patients will be able to continue their lives without further medication.

Since the transit bipartition surgery is performed by laparoscopic surgery, the pain is felt in a small amount. Transit bipartition surgery can solve both the obesity problem and the diabetes mellitus problem. Patients are expected to have a body mass index above the specific body mass index rate because they experience weight loss after this surgery.
