Tratamento de obesidade

Existem diversas técnicas cirúrgicas para o tratamento da obesidade e da doença metabólica (diabetes). Todas elas estimulam mecanismos hormonais, neuronais e de flora intestinal (além de outros mecanismos), que levam a perda de peso, melhora do metabolismo e remissão ou cura das doenças associadas (comorbidades). Entratanto, cada uma dessas técnicas apresenta características próprias e peculiaridades, agindo de maneiras distintas. Desta forma, a escolha da técnica mais apropriada deve ser indicada pelo cirurgião bariátrico especialista, em consenso com o paciente, optando-se pelaa melhor conduta, de forma individualizada.

Todas as técnicas operatórias são realizadas por videolaparoscopia (pequenos furinhos) ou pelo método robótico. Ambos os métodos são extremamente seguros e pouco invasivos, proporcionando uma recuperação pós-operatória, extremamente, rápida.

Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch

There are several surgical techniques for treating obesity and metabolic disease (diabetes). All of them stimulate hormonal, neuronal, and gut flora mechanisms (among others), leading to weight loss, improved metabolism, and remission or cure of associated diseases (comorbidities). However, each of these techniques has its characteristics and peculiarities, acting in different ways. Therefore, the choice of the most appropriate technique should be recommended by a specialist bariatric surgeon, in consensus with the patient, opting for the best course of action on an individualized basis.

All surgical techniques are performed by laparoscopy (small incisions) or by the robotic method. Both are extremely safe and minimally invasive, providing a very rapid postoperative recovery.

Revisional Surgeries for Obesity and Diabetes

Both obesity and diabetes are chronic, progressive metabolic and inflammatory diseases. Therefore, some patients who have already undergone surgery for the treatment of obesity and/or diabetes may experience progressive recurrence of the disease. But this is not the end of the line! As mentioned earlier, there are different techniques with different effects. A patient who has already undergone surgery and experiences a failure in results after a period can have their technique modified and converted to another one that is more appropriate for the stage of their disease – a more “potent” technique. However, for this to occur, a comprehensive, individualized assessment of the disease and the patient is necessary to ensure that the choice of revisional surgery is as appropriate as possible.

Endoscopic Treatment of Obesity

Intragastric Balloon

Endoscopic Gastroplasty

Argon Plasma (revisional endoscopic method)

Clinical Treatment of Obesity

Multidisciplinary Treatment

Medicinal Treatment

All modalities of surgical treatment for obesity and diabetes must include multidisciplinary clinical follow-up to achieve better results. This is a holistic approach that involves nutritionists, psychologists, physiotherapists, physical educators, endocrinologists, and nutritionists, as needed.O objetivo é cuidar do organismo como um todo, buscando melhorar o estilo de vida , a saúde mental e os hábitos alimentares.
The goal is to care for the body as a whole, aiming to improve lifestyle, mental health, and eating habits. In some situations, it is necessary to combine medications with surgical, endoscopic, or clinical treatment to achieve better weight loss and diabetes control results in a more lasting and effective manner.

Dr. Victor Dib answers

When should you see a digestive surgeon?

Principais motivos

Persistent abdominal pain: If you are experiencing chronic or severe abdominal pain, especially if accompanied by other symptoms such as vomiting, bleeding, or changes in bowel habits, it is crucial to seek medical evaluation;
Liver and gallbladder diseases: Conditions such as gallstones, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and other liver diseases may require the intervention of a digestive surgeon for treatment or surgery;
Gastrointestinal cancer: Early diagnosis is essential for the effective treatment of stomach, intestine, esophagus, and other cancers. A digestive surgeon can perform surgical procedures to remove tumors and perform biopsies;
Morbid obesity: In cases of severe obesity that do not respond to conventional treatments, bariatric surgery may be an option to promote weight loss and improve overall health;
Inflammatory bowel diseases: Patients with conditions such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis may need surgery to control symptoms and improve quality of life.

Our

Exams

Bioimpedance

Bioimpedance is an exam that quickly and accurately assesses body composition using an imperceptible electrical current.

Esophageal pH Monitoring

An exam is used to diagnose and quantify gastroesophageal and/or pharyngeal reflux, acidic or alkaline, as well as to relate the exam results to the reflux symptoms presented by patients.

Colonoscopy

An endoscopic exam is performed with a narrow, flexible tube that allows for an enlarged view of the entire large intestine and part of the small intestine through a high-resolution monitor.

Upper Digestive Endoscopy

An exam is performed with a narrow, flexible tube that allows for an enlarged view of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum through a high-resolution monitor.

Esophageal Impedance-pH Monitoring

Esophageal impedance-pH monitoring is an exam that allows the physician to assess the reflux (return) of acidic and non-acidic material from the stomach into the esophagus, monitoring the patient for approximately 24 hours using a thin probe placed in one of the nostrils, connected to a portable computer (recorder).

High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry

Also known as high-resolution esophageal manometry, it aims to study the motor function (motility) of the entire esophagus by inserting a thin silicone catheter into the esophagus through the nose, after applying the anesthetic gel, without the need for sedation.

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy

An endoscopic exam that investigates the anus, rectum, and the final portion of the large intestine. It can be supplemented with biopsies, material culture, and cytology when necessary.
