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.

I recently had my gastric sleeve surgery at Central Hospital Etiler branch, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, the staff was warm, attentive, and thoroughly professional. Every step of the process was clearly explained, and I felt supported both physically and emotionally throughout my journey. I want to give special thanks to Dr. Servet Tali, whose expertise and care made all the difference. His confidence, clarity, and compassionate approach immediately put me at ease. The surgery went incredibly smoothly, and thanks to Dr. Tali’s brilliant work, my recovery has been faster and easier than I ever expected. It’s rare to find such a combination of medical excellence and genuine human care. Central Hospital and Dr. Servet Tali have truly changed my life for the better, and I am deeply grateful for everything they’ve done. If you’re considering gastric sleeve surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend this hospital and especially Dr. Tali—you’ll be in the best hands possible.

Beautiful hospital, lovely facilities but most importantly the nurses here and staff were so kind and generous in their care. Nothing was too much and one particular nurse went above and beyond to assist me every single time and showed such compassion and genuine care always with a smile on her face.

We went to the hospital our doctor had arranged for my girlfriend's surgery. We paid the entire surgery fee to our doctor in advance. After the surgery, we decided to stay one more day because my girlfriend was in a lot of pain and bleeding. We asked for the fee. They told us the amount. The next day, when we were going to leave, they charged us almost 5.5 times the fee. I think they charged this price because the patient's name (my girlfriend's name) was foreign. Since I am Turkish, the person I was going to pay for told me the price with a trembling voice when she saw me. Because this price was inflated. I called my doctor and he made a discount. I paid it. As a result, this hospital has become a complete business. I definitely do not recommend having surgery at this hospital that pays minimum wages to healthcare workers, rips off foreign patients and only thinks about its own pockets. I would like to state that I have never had a problem with my doctor.
