The Obesity Treatment and Bariatric Surgery Centre at Corlu Vatan Private Hospital was established to address one of the most significant health challenges of modern society: obesity.
Our centre is led by experienced physicians specialising in bariatric and metabolic surgery. Since its establishment, numerous patients have undergone successful treatment, and our expertise in both surgical and non-surgical obesity management continues to grow.
We offer individualised treatment plans tailored to each patient’s medical condition, needs, and expectations. Our approach includes both surgical and non-surgical options, supported by comprehensive preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up.
Obesity is one of the most prevalent health problems in both developed and developing countries. It is defined as the excessive accumulation of body fat, which may occur subcutaneously, within the abdominal cavity, or around internal organs.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is commonly used to classify weight status:
Obesity can negatively affect quality of life, social well-being, and psychological health. More importantly, it is associated with an increased risk of serious medical conditions, including:
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Type 2 diabetes
• Fatty liver disease
• Joint disorders
• Certain types of cancer
For this reason, obesity is not merely a cosmetic concern but a chronic medical condition with significant health consequences and potential impact on life expectancy.
When considering bariatric surgery, Body Mass Index (BMI) and the presence of obesity-related comorbidities are carefully evaluated.
• In patients without obesity-related diseases, surgery is generally considered when BMI is above 40.
• In patients with obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, surgical eligibility may be evaluated at lower BMI levels, based on clinical assessment and international guidelines.
The decision for surgery is made after a comprehensive medical evaluation. Patients are thoroughly informed about the proposed procedure, expected benefits, potential risks, the postoperative recovery process, and the dietary and lifestyle changes required for long-term success.
The application of Botulinum Toxin (Botox) on the fundal part of the stomach is a weight loss method based on injecting Botulinum Toxin into specific parts of the stomach using an endoscopic method. Botox helps slow down digestion in the stomach; this ensures slower digestion of food, making the period of satiety longer. The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes. Stomach botox placement is performed endoscopically without pain or nausea, under light sedation. The main advantage of the procedure is that it is not a surgical procedure and the patient immediately returns to their normal daily life. Since there are no incisions or sutures, no postoperative dressing is required. To date, the application of botulinum toxin has no known dangerous side effects. Through this procedure, patients are expected to lose about 10-15% of their total weight within 3-6 months.
The amount of weight lost may vary from person to person depending on age, metabolic rate, and physical activity.
The Intragastric Balloon, also known as the "Gastric Balloon," is a medical product aimed at supporting non-surgical weight loss for patients. The balloon is inserted into the stomach through the oral cavity using an endoscopic method. The gastric balloon consists of a soft, expandable balloon, an insertion tube, and a filling system. The purpose of placing a gastric balloon is to partially fill the stomach, which helps create a constant feeling of satiety even when consuming minimal amounts of food. This is a reversible and simple technique that does not require incisions, so it is considered one of the interventional diets. Weight loss through intragastric balloon placement varies depending on the patient's current excess weight, metabolic rate, gender, age, metabolic and hormonal diseases, diet compliance, and physical activity. The average expected weight loss is about 20-30% of current weight. Following a diet and increased physical activity will further help achieve higher results.
Sleeve Gastrectomy, also known as "gastric tube surgery," is the most commonly used surgical method among obesity surgery procedures. It is a safe and highly effective surgical method for weight loss that allows patients with obesity problems to lose weight permanently. The "Sleeve Gastrectomy" procedure is a laparoscopic surgical intervention, meaning that through minimal incisions made in the upper abdomen, about 80% of the stomach is removed, and the remaining part of the stomach takes a tube shape. In this intervention, no procedure is performed on the intestines.
The average expected weight loss within one year after the procedure is 40% to 70%. One of the main advantages of this method is that no changes are made to the small intestines, foods follow the normal digestive tract, and thus vitamin and mineral deficiency is unlikely to occur in the postoperative period.
Gastric Bypass is a combined method representing two-stage laparoscopic surgery. The "Gastric Bypass" intervention is a technical reduction of stomach size by minimizing the stomach to a small pouch using staples. Staples placed in the upper section of the stomach form a small cavity isolated from the rest of the stomach. This cavity empties directly into a distal section of the small intestine connected to it. The proximal section, which follows the natural course of the gastrointestinal tract, after the isolated section of the stomach is connected to a lower section of the intestine. The remaining part of the stomach is not removed, as in sleeve gastrectomy, but food cannot access the remaining part of the stomach. Gastric juices and enzymes continue to be produced by the remaining part of the stomach to aid digestion and nutrient absorption. In this way, consumed foods bypass most of the stomach and the first part of the small intestines. Thus, the patient feels full even when consuming a small amount of food, and at the same time, less food is absorbed from the small intestines.
Patients who undergo "Gastric Bypass" usually lose two-thirds of their weight within 2 years. As a result of this weight loss, positive results are also achieved in treating patients with type 2 diabetes, providing a lasting solution to many other diseases caused by excess weight.
Metabolic surgery can provide drug-free control of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. For patients who come to our clinic with such complaints, a multidisciplinary approach is applied. Initially, for making the decision for surgical treatment of type 2 diabetes, a detailed physical examination and investigations are carried out by our internal medicine specialists.
In cases with high blood glucose levels that cannot be controlled with diet and medication, the most appropriate surgical intervention is selected from gastric bypass, transit bipartition, and ileal interposition. After the surgical intervention, our patients are under the direct supervision of a team of specialists: a dietitian, an internal medicine specialist, and a general surgery specialist.
