Triple-Protected Sleeve Gastrectomy
The "safe sleeve" with omentopexy to reduce gastric twisting, heartburn and vomiting.
- Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery
- Omentopexy
- Reduced risk of gastric twisting
- Less heartburn and vomiting
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most widely performed weight-loss operations. It reduces the size of the stomach, limiting food intake and hunger.
In the triple-protected sleeve, the staple line is reinforced and omentopexy (re-fixing the omentum to the stomach) is performed to reduce the risk of gastric twisting and to lessen heartburn and vomiting after surgery.
The right procedure for each patient is decided after a full consultation and medical assessment with the specialist.
