Transit Bipartition
Transit bipartition is a surgical method used in the treatment of obesity and control of type 2 diabetes, which includes both stomach reduction and small intestine reorganization. This method both accelerates weight loss by creating hormonal changes in the digestive system and helps control diabetes by regulating blood sugar.
How to Apply?
During the operation, the stomach is first reduced to a “gastric sleeve”. Then, the small intestine is divided into two different pathways. One pathway directs some of the food digested by the stomach to the normal digestive tract, while the other pathway allows the food to reach the lower part of the small intestine faster. In this way, food intake is reduced and blood sugar levels are controlled by increasing the body's insulin sensitivity.
Who is it suitable for?
Transit bipartition is particularly suitable for patients with a body mass index (BMI) over 35 and struggling with type 2 diabetes. Because it is effective in the treatment of diabetes, it is an ideal surgical option for people who want to reduce insulin resistance or reduce insulin use.
What are the Advantages?
- Effective in Diabetes Treatment: Transit bipartition can significantly reduce or completely eliminate insulin use in patients with type 2 diabetes.
- Weight Loss: By shrinking the stomach, less food is consumed, resulting in effective weight loss.
- Regulation of Digestion and Metabolism: Restructuring the digestive system contributes to accelerated metabolism and more efficient use of nutrients by the body.
Recovery Process:
The recovery process after transit bipartition varies depending on the individual. During the first few weeks after surgery, a liquid and soft food diet is recommended. Patients are usually discharged within a few days and can return to their normal life. However, it may take several months for full recovery and eating habits to settle.
Transit bipartition is an effective surgical method that offers long-term results in the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
