Standard minimally invasive surgeries
|
Gastric sleeve resection |
The removal of the part of the stomach with high concentration of gastrin (“hunger hormone”). |
|
Gastric Bypasses |
During the operation only a small part of the stomach continues functioning. The surgeons use a bypass through the middle or back part of the intestine. |
|
Gastric balloon |
The balloon is reduced to the stomach size and placed inside it using endoscopic techniques. Such procedure promotes quicker saturation. |
|
Gastric band |
Laparoscopic placement of the ring on the upper third of the stomach, which helps to get rid of the feeling of hunger more quickly. |
Innovative minimally invasive surgeries
|
Gastroplication |
A specialized surgery which reduces the gastric lumen by suturing the stomach. The procedure has some contraindications. |
|
Endobarrier |
A non-invasive therapeutic method for the patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity, during which a thin liner is inserted into primary and middle sections of the small intestine. The liner prevents interaction of food with these sections and is removed after the therapy. |
|
OPTIFAST |
The program conducts monitoring of the patients with the most complex forms of obesity. It helps to choose different approaches which are divided into phases. |
After a long and thorough testing German Diabetes Association (DDG) has specified St. Martinus Krankenhaus Diabetes Center for high achievements in the treatment and care for diabetic patients.
