Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery is a bariatric procedure that reduces the stomach size to limit food intake and promote weight loss. Korea offers a variety of gastric sleeve surgery options, allowing patients to choose the most suitable method based on their health status and goals in consultation with their physician.

Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery
  • Long-Term Weight Loss
    Significant and sustained weight loss achieved through reduced food intake post-surgery.
  • Metabolic Improvement
    Enhances metabolic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension alongside weight loss.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    Laparoscopic surgery leaves minimal scarring and promotes quicker recovery.
Types of Gastric Sleeve Surgery
  • 01. Sleeve Gastrectomy
    Removes about 80% of the stomach, leaving a narrow, banana-shaped sleeve to limit food intake and aid weight loss.

    Involves creating a small stomach pouch and bypassing a portion of the small intestine to restrict digestion and absorption of food, leading to significant weight loss and metabolic improvement.

  • 03. Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)
    A more complex procedure that reduces stomach size and bypasses part of the small intestine, providing the most effective weight loss and metabolic benefits.

  • 04. Mini-Gastric Bypass Surgery
    Similar to the Roux-en-Y but with a simpler surgical process, reducing surgery time and the risk of complications.
