Obesity surgery includes bariatric procedures designed to achieve significant weight loss and improve overall health in severely obese patients. At the Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, the main procedure performed is gastric sleeve surgery, a minimally invasive technique ensuring patient safety and faster recovery.
The procedure involves removing approximately 75–80% of the stomach, leaving a tube-shaped “sleeve” that limits food intake and reduces the production of ghrelin, the hormone responsible for hunger.
This procedure is recommended for severely obese patients who have not succeeded with conservative methods (diet, exercise). Main criteria:
Body Mass Index (BMI) over 40.
BMI between 35 and 40 with associated conditions (type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, etc.).
Failure of conservative treatments.
Reducing the risk of severe obesity-related complications (heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, musculoskeletal problems).
At Topmed, obesity surgeries are performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive), using small incisions and specialized instruments with a camera. This approach reduces tissue trauma, lowers complication risk, and enables faster recovery with minimal scarring. The surgery usually lasts 1–2 hours and includes:
Approximately 75–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-shaped sleeve.
Significant reduction in stomach capacity.
Lower ghrelin levels support better appetite control.
Laparoscopic incisions are closed with fine sutures for minimal scarring and faster healing.
Patients are closely monitored during the first days to observe their postoperative status and prevent complications.
Patients may lose 60–70% of their excess weight in the first 12–18 months. Benefits include:
