Laparoscopic longitudinal gastric resection
Laparoscopic longitudinal gastric resection is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the volume of the stomach to treat obesity. It helps to significantly reduce weight and improve health.
Obesity is a serious chronic disease that leads to a variety of complications, including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
During longitudinal gastric resection, a significant part of the stomach is removed, which leads to a decrease in its volume and a decrease in appetite. This helps patients consume less food and get full faster. The procedure also helps to improve metabolic processes. Laparoscopic longitudinal gastric resection is indicated in patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 and above, when conservative treatment methods do not bring results. Successful treatment requires a comprehensive approach, including lifestyle changes and constant medical supervision.

Longitudinal gastric resection is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdominal cavity and inserts a laparoscope and special instruments. Then a part of the stomach is removed, reducing its volume. The remaining part of the stomach is formed in the form of a thin tube. The procedure lasts about 1-2 hours.

After the operation, the patient spends 2 to 5 days in the hospital. In the first weeks after surgery, it is recommended to follow a liquid and soft diet, gradually switching to more solid foods. Full recovery takes about 4-6 weeks. Regular consultations with a nutritionist and a psychologist help you adapt to new eating habits and lifestyle.
