Obesity Treatment

The stomach is an organ capable of stretching. The larger the volume of food that enters the stomach, the more the stomach walls stretch. A person feels full when the stomach is full; many people simply cannot experience hunger. This leads them to consume food in larger and larger volumes, which naturally results in obesity.

Stomach volume reduction surgeries have been performed worldwide for a long time. Initially, these were standard gastric resections – a major laparotomy operation involving the removal of part of the stomach. However, these surgical interventions are too risky and are difficult for patients to endure. Subsequently, and to this day, medical facilities have employed the method of stitching the stomach without excising any part of it. However, these surgeries are also performed through an incision in the anterior abdominal wall. In the postoperative period, patients require rehabilitation, and for a considerable time, they cannot work or lead a normal lifestyle. As a result of the surgery, the stomach volume is significantly reduced, and only a small amount of food is required for satiety. At Top Ichilov, doctors prefer gastric banding. This is the most gentle of the available methods today. At Top Ichilov, laparoscopic methods are used for gastric banding, meaning the surgery is performed through small incisions/punctures in the skin. After the operation, there is no pain syndrome, and the patient does not require rehabilitation. The only recommendation is to eat small portions to prevent the walls from stretching.

The Top Ichilov clinic is one of the very few authorized to perform this operation. A high level of professionalism, refined skills, and reliable equipment all contribute to the quality and safety of stomach stitching surgeries.
