What is Metabolic Surgery?

Metabolik Cerrahi Nedir?

Despite diet, lifestyle changes and standard drug treatments in diabetes;

When high blood sugar cannot be controlled,
When the deterioration cannot be stopped despite all medical treatments,
Sugar Retinopathy (negative effects on the eyes),
Nephropathy (negative effects on the kidneys),
Neuropathy (negative effects on the nerves)

Surgical treatment is one of the most effective treatments in such cases.

With surgical treatment;
The disease can be terminated
The disease can be brought under control,
The progression of the disease can be slowed down
Complications can be prevented.
In other words, with surgical treatment, we can achieve one or more of the above results.

Our goal is to increase the effective use of insulin in the body and initiate hormonal changes that will eliminate insulin resistance.

Thanks to this surgery, the sugar-regulating hormones produced by the body are used more effectively and, accordingly, insulin reserves are preserved for a longer period of time. In this way, blood sugar is brought under control and the bad course of type 2 diabetes is tried to be prevented.

The only condition for the surgery to be successful is that your body produces insulin, even if it is small. If you have type 2 diabetes or if you do not have enough insulin in your body, you will not benefit from this surgery, therefore many studies show that especially type 2 diabetic patients should have this surgery before their insulin reserves run out.

A very detailed preliminary evaluation is required for the success of the surgery and at the end of this evaluation, the most appropriate type of surgery for the person is selected and applied. There are several types of surgery performed due to diabetes, we determine the most appropriate surgery for you after this preliminary evaluation.

Surgery;

It includes a range of effective results, from completely stopping sugar pills and insulin injections used for diabetes to reducing the amount and number of medications.

In addition, eye, kidney, neurological problems, heart and vascular problems that you may encounter due to ongoing high blood sugar can be eliminated or minimized.

After the surgery, our patients can also get rid of many diseases they have, such as high blood pressure, obesity, sleep apnea, high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, coronary artery disease and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Please remember that one of the treatment alternatives for diabetes is surgery, and the most important role in surgical success is to apply before insulin reserves are depleted and serious organ damage begins.

Let's not forget that our health is our most valuable treasure. It should be appreciated before losing it.
