Chemical Encapsulation Sleeve Gastrectomy

Obesity surgeries

Obesity is a disease of the age, and for this reason many doctors seek to find the best methods and solutions to help obesity patients get rid of it and its many complications of chronic diseases and the difficulty of moving and enjoying the simplest activities of life. Indeed, a solution has been found that is so far the best and most effective solution, which is obesity operations with its various techniques. There were many types of obesity surgeries between gastric sleeve and gastric bypass in its various types, classic and mini, bilateral division operations, etc. Then many improvements appeared on each of them in order to reach the best results, the highest level of safety and the lowest incidence of any of the complications. Therefore, many other names appeared for the sleeve gastrectomy process, such as the modified sleeve gastrectomy, the envelope sleeve, the accurate sleeve gastrectomy, and others, and each of them aimed to add a certain feature to the sleeve gastrectomy process, and they succeeded in this, and the development and modernization is still continuing. So what is the Chemical Encapsulation Sleeve Gastrectomy?

The sleeve gastrectomy surgery is carried out with chemical wrapping with the same steps as the usual sleeve gastrectomy operations of cutting the stomach by approximately 80% of the original size of the stomach so that no more than 20% of the original size of the stomach remains using accurate medical endoscopes.
Then we reach the stage of stapling the wall of the stomach using the latest American staplers, where the appropriate sizes of staples are automatically selected according to the thickness of the tissue in each area to ensure the stability of the top of the staples and that they are not loosened or moved.

3 lines of pins are made for added security and to reduce any possibilities of leakage.
Hence, the importance of sleeve gastrectomy with chemical encapsulation emerged, which is overcoming the most important problems or complications of gastric sleeve surgery, which is the problem of leakage. Although the use of American-made and automatic staplers worked, it succeeded in reaching the lowest percentage of leakage possibilities, but Dr. Ahmed Safina, a consultant in bariatric and endoscopic surgeries, He is always searching to reach the highest level of safety rates, in order to ensure the safety of his patients, and for this he added a new step to sleeve gastrectomy surgery , which is the chemical coating by adding cyanoacrylate to reinforce the line of pins on the stomach wall

What is cyanoacrylate?

* Cyanoacrylate: It is a substance that has the nature of glues, so it is able to coat the staple line with a transparent layer that is identical and does not interact with the stomach tissues, but works to support and strengthen the staple line.

* Cyanoacrylate is characterized by its rapid transition from the liquid state to the solid state, which means that it dries within a few seconds, so it helps work to stop bleeding immediately and does not add additional time to the operation time. It is a fast, supportive step that has many advantages, as we will see later.

*Also, as happens in encapsulated sleeve gastrectomy operations, where the gastric tissue is used to wrap the staples line, we can use cyanoacrylate to fix the gastric tissue without stitches or stitches and in a much faster time, so we have obtained two types of packaging in one step, packaging with gastric tissue and chemical packaging This is useful in reducing the complications of stomach problems and stabilizing the stomach against twisting, which in turn causes complications of continuous vomiting.

* Cyanoacrylate has been proven to be effective through medical research, and it has also already been tested in many, many practical studies on large groups of patients of different weights, ages, and genders. Through the results of these studies, it has proven its effectiveness in controlling stopping bleeding and reducing the possibilities of leakage.
