In this Lecture, we will disscuss that We are excited to share an enlightening and educational lecture on Sleeve Gastrectomy, presented by the world-renowned laparoscopic and robotic surgeon, Dr. R. K. Mishra. In this comprehensive session, Dr. Mishra delves into the details of one of the most widely performed bariatric procedures – the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy – providing valuable insights for both medical professionals and patients seeking to understand the surgical options for obesity treatment.
 
What is Sleeve Gastrectomy?
 
Sleeve Gastrectomy is a minimally invasive weight-loss surgery in which approximately 75-80% of the stomach is removed, leaving behind a slender, sleeve-shaped pouch. This significantly reduces the capacity of the stomach, helping patients to feel full sooner and eat less. Additionally, it impacts hormones related to hunger and satiety, enhancing weight loss outcomes.
 
Key Highlights of the Lecture:
 
- Anatomy and Physiology of the Stomach: Dr. Mishra explains the anatomical considerations before surgery and how the procedure alters the physiology of the gastrointestinal system.
 
- Step-by-Step Surgical Procedure: A detailed walkthrough of the surgical technique, including port placement, gastric mobilization, stapling techniques, and leak testing.
 
- Indications and Contraindications: Who qualifies for sleeve gastrectomy? Dr. Mishra outlines the criteria and discusses when alternative treatments might be more suitable.
 
- Outcomes and Benefits: Learn about the effectiveness of this surgery in treating obesity and related metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
 
- Risks and Complications: Every surgery has potential risks. The lecture responsibly addresses complications like bleeding, leakage, and nutritional deficiencies.
 
- Postoperative Care and Lifestyle Modifications: Understand the importance of diet, exercise, and follow-up care to ensure long-term success after surgery.
