A New Method in Obesity Surgery: No Scarring

A New Method in Obesity Surgery: No Scarring

The scarless method is a groundbreaking minimally invasive procedure in obesity surgery. In this modern procedure, only 5-6 microscopic trocar incisions (0.5-1.5 cm) are made in the abdomen, and the entire procedure is performed under the guidance of a 4K-3D camera system. Surgeons reduce the stomach to a volume of 30-50 ml using special 5 mm laparoscopic instruments and reconstruct a 100-150 cm section of the small intestine.

Ideal candidates for this procedure are individuals with metabolic diseases (Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea) and a BMI over 35. Patients must have at least 5 years of obesity history and have been unsuccessful with traditional weight loss methods. The procedure provides the best results in patients aged 18-65.

The clinical superiority of the method is proven by clear data. The operation time is on average 45-60 minutes, and patients experience minimal pain (level 2-3 on the VAS scale). Most patients are discharged within 24-48 hours, start daily activities within 1 week, and return to work within 2-3 weeks. Complication rates are quite low: the risk of infection is less than 0.5%, and the risk of anastomotic leakage is less than 0.3%.

The long-term results are impressive. Patients lose 30-35% of their excess weight in the first 3 months, 40-50% in 6 months, and 60-70% in 1 year with a 1,000-1,200 calorie per day diet. 85% of patients maintain this success 5 years later. With regular vitamin and mineral supplementation, patients maintain a healthy metabolic balance.
