The widespread use of laparoscopic obesity surgery has left both emergency physicians and general surgeons faced with acute and chronic complications of bariatric surgery. Patients who have undergone bariatric surgery should take a phased approach should they encounter any emergency. Resuscitation attempts are the same as for patients who have not undergone bariatric surgery. Therefore, […]

Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures in obesity surgery.

Insulin resistance is a condition in which normal concentrations of insulin produce less than normal biological response. Or it can also be called a state of resistance to the metabolic effects of insulin. The metabolic effects of insulin are the suppression of endogenously produced glucose, stimulation of peripheral glucose retention (predominantly in muscles) and gluconeogenesis, […]

The coexistence of various risk factors that play a role in the development of cardiovascular diseases and are thought to share a common etiopathogenesis is called metabolic syndrome.

In order for insulin to have its effect, after it is secreted from the pancreas, it must go to the cells where it will act and bind. These points in the cells to which insulin binds are called receptors. Three main mechanisms play a role in the development of insulin resistance. The first is the […]

Two mechanisms are used in obesity surgery. The first of these is a volume restricting mechanism, and the second is a mechanism that both restricts and impairs absorption from the small intestines. Adjustable gastric banding (clamp), one of the volume restricting methods, is rarely used today due to the complications it creates. Today, we most […]
