Sažetak
Surgery is the most effective method for the treatment of morbid obesity. Beneficial effects of bariatric surgery are due to both changed anatomy and consequential alterations in hormonal and metabolic status. Based on the experience with former standard bariatric procedures, the idea came out of a new combined bariatric procedure that could provide better control of glucose level and weight loss. The procedure is a hybrid of sleeve gastrectomy and mini-gastric bypass, therefore uniting advantages of both procedures: one anastomosis, achieved effects of restriction and malabsorption and affection of both dominant endocrine systems that result in an increase in incretin level and a decrease in ghrelin level. However, the procedure is yet a novel one and these hypotheses are about to be examined in the already announced research project.
