How is gastric sleeve performed ?
Gastric sleeve in Morocco is realized under general anaesthesia and lasts
about 2
hours.
The operation is performed by laparoscopy, very rarely by laparotomy. Incisions
(usually 3 to 5) are made in the abdomen and trocars are inserted. A tube,
called a candle is inserted through the mouth into the stomach. It is used to
calibrate the new stomach. With an automatic forceps, the stomach is cut and
sutured at the same time with a triple row of staples. The resected part of the
stomach is then extracted from the abdomen.
The scars are sutured with absorbable suture, rarely with non-absorbable suture
or staples.
