Metabolik Cerrahi is one of the best clinics in the field of metabolic surgery. It is headed by the famous surgeon Alper Celik. The Рospital is situated in the European part of Istanbul, 30 minutes from the International Atatürk Airport. Thus, its location is very convenient for transfer. For last 6 years Metabolik Cerrahi practices treatment of type 2 diabetes through standard as well as newly developed metabolic surgeries. Innovative operations (Ileal Interposition и Transit Bipartition) are especially effective for 2 type achrestic diabetes. Such techniques are used only by several hospitals in the world. More than 4,000 patients have undergone their treatment at Metabolik Cerrahi. 92% of them have successfully got rid of diabetes, overweight and hypertention (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, sleep apnea (breathing disorder) and other metabolic problems.

Metabolik Cerrahi: more details about the clinic
Turkey, Istanbul
Metabolik Cerrahi (tur. Metabolic Surgery) is one of the leading medical institutions in Turkey and Europe for metabolic surgery. It conducts nearly 300-400 of the most challenging operations for type 2 diabetes. Alper Celic, the Chief Surgeon, worked in the clinics in Japan, Brazil, and India. He is one of the few physicians who can provide such surgeries as Ileal Interposition and Transit Bipartition and conduct them with the minimum complications. He also owns the Surgical Review Corporation Certificate by the American Society which recognizes him to be the “Doctor of Excellence in Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery.”
Surgical treatment of type 2 diabetes eliminates the causes of its occurrence. The surgeries are based on the peculiarities of the small intestine anatomy. Mainly, on its distal part where hormone, responsible for the sensitivity of cells to insulin, is produced. The purpose of the surgical interventions is to increase the production of this hormone.
Ileal Interposition
During the operation, the surgeon switches place the end (distal) and initial (proximal) parts of the small intestine.
In some cases, ileum (distal part of the small intestine) is placed between the stomach and the proximal part of the small intestine.
Transit Bipartition
The surgery is technically more complicated. The small intestine is cut into two parts. The initial site is sewn closer to the large intestine. The remaining free end of the small intestine is stitched with the stomach (so-called gastroileal anastomosis). Thus, the stomach retains two outflow pathways.
Transit bipartition was designed to counterbalance a hormonally hyperactive proximal gut and a hypoactive distal gut, which causes the obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Unlike the previously designed malabsorptive surgical techniques, nutrient transit is maintained in the duodenum minimizing malabsorption.
The advantage of Transit Bipartition operation:
The malabsorption syndrome - a malabsorption of nutrients, does not develop. 95% of patients do not need to maintain a lifelong intake of natural supplements in the form of vitamins.
More than 90% of patients (after surgical treatment of diabetes) have established a stable level of glucose.
All surgeries are performed laparoscopically allowing to leave the Hospital in 5 days and quickly return to the ordinary way of life. Over 90% of the patients have stabilized the level of glucose after the operative interventions.
Besides surgeries, Metabolic Cerrahi specialists exert half-yearly post-procedure control to detect if any additional medical therapies are needed.
The Clinic offers services in three languages: English, Arabic, and Persian.Number of the patients who were operated: 1,043.
