Gastric Transit Bipartition
The inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin to maintain metabolic balance in terms of glucose is the primary cause of diabetes, which can be brought on by a variety of illnesses and risk factors, including genetics and nutrition. By interacting with the blood, the insulin hormone controls the blood sugar level as one of its functions. In Turkey, metabolic surgeries—a very effective treatment option for those with TYPE 2 diabetes—are successfully performed. Gastric transit bipartition is one of them…
What is Gastric Transit Bipartition?
A metabolic surgical procedure called transit bipartition helps obese patients with a body mass index of higher than 30, to lose weight. It was found for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. Patients with Type II Diabetes who are unable to manage their blood sugar using conventional treatment options and who are beginning to experience organ damage because of excessive blood sugar are treated with diabetes surgery (gastric transit" bipartition). Less food is consumed after Type II Diabetes Surgery operations.
During the procedure, a new pathway is made between the stomach and the intestines so that food can be passed through. In this way, it is made sure that the food gets to the small intestine's last section earlier. Insulin resistance reduces, while the levels of the hormones GLP-1 and PPY rise. The purpose is to cure Type 2 Diabetes completely. An average closed (laparoscopic) procedure lasts two hours.
On the same day, the patient can stand without difficulty. Four to seven days after being released from the hospital, they can resume their normal lives. With the help of pre-interview and pre-operative examinations, blood sugar management will be regularly monitored, which entirely eliminates the need for insulin and other diabetes medications in carefully chosen patients.
Who can have Transit Bipartition Surgery?
The best candidate for this metabolic surgery is any patient with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes patients are expected to have sufficient insulin reserves (their bodies’ capacity to produce insulin.) Also, for the surgery, the patient’s body mass index should be somewhere between twenty and thirty. For the general patient profile, it is enough to be somewhere between 25-30.
