Endoscopic Revision of Gastric Sleeve in Dubai

Revision of Gastric Sleeve: Sleeve-in-Sleeve (SIS) Procedure

The Sleeve-in-Sleeve (SIS) procedure is a minimally invasive solution for individuals who have undergone sleeve gastrectomy but are experiencing weight regain or complications. This non-surgical revision technique offers an effective alternative for those seeking to enhance the results of their original weight loss surgery without requiring another surgery.

The SIS procedure involves using an endoscopic technique to reinforce or revise the previous sleeve gastrectomy, tightening the stomach and reducing its volume once again. This allows patients to regain control over their portion sizes and continue their weight loss journey.

If you’re looking for a safe, non-surgical option to revise your gastric sleeve, the SIS procedure at Novomed in Dubai might be the right solution for you.

How does the SIS Procedure work?

The Sleeve-in-Sleeve revision is performed using a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) that is inserted through the mouth to access the stomach. The procedure involves creating a new sleeve within the existing sleeve using advanced suturing techniques. The stomach is carefully tightened and resized to restore its smaller, restrictive capacity, which helps patients feel full quicker and reduce caloric intake.

The entire procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and is performed under general anesthesia for patient comfort.

Benefits of the SIS Procedure at Novomed

• Minimally Invasive: The SIS procedure does not involve any incisions or external cuts. The procedure is performed entirely through the mouth, leading to a faster recovery and significantly reduced risks of complications.
• No Scarring: Since no external incisions are made, there is no risk of visible scarring, and patients experience less post-procedural pain compared to traditional surgeries.
• Effective Weight Loss: For those experiencing weight regain after sleeve gastrectomy, the SIS procedure provides a renewed opportunity for sustainable weight loss. By restoring the stomach’s smaller size, patients can once again control their portion sizes and lose excess weight.
• Experienced Bariatric Experts: Our team of highly skilled bariatric specialists at Novomed has extensive experience in endoscopic weight loss procedures. Their expertise ensures the highest level of safety and precision during the SIS procedure.

Step-by-Step Guide to the SIS Procedure at Novomed

1. Pre-procedure Evaluation: Before the SIS procedure, you will undergo a comprehensive evaluation to assess your medical history, overall health, and suitability for the procedure. Our specialists will ensure that SIS is the right option for your specific situation.
2. Sedation: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the treatment.
3. Endoscopic Insertion: Our bariatric specialist will insert the endoscope through your mouth and guide it into your stomach. This allows precise access to the existing sleeve.
4. Suturing: The specialist will use advanced suturing devices to carefully reduce the size of your sleeve by placing a series of stitches along the stomach lining, effectively creating a “sleeve within the sleeve.”
5. Recovery: Most patients can return home the same day after a short recovery period at the clinic. The recovery process is generally mild, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort.
6. Aftercare and Support: Following the SIS procedure, we will provide you with comprehensive aftercare support, including nutritional counseling, exercise recommendations, and follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.
