Obesity Treatment

The stomach is an organ capable of stretching. The larger the volume of food that enters the stomach, the more the walls of the stomach stretch. A person feels full when the stomach is full; many people simply cannot feel hunger. This leads them to consume food in larger and larger volumes, which naturally leads to 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 institutions have been using the method of stomach stitching without excising 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 operation, the volume of the stomach is significantly reduced, requiring only a small amount of food for saturation.At Top Ichilov, doctors prefer gastric banding. This is the least invasive of the available techniques today. At Top Ichilov, laparoscopic methods are used for gastric banding, meaning the operation 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 operations.
