Revision

Revision surgery is nowadays performed in cases where repeat surgery is necessary in the process after obesity surgeries. If the patient continues to gain weight after obesity surgery or if the weight cannot be reduced below the determined weight, he/she can be taken to surgical intervention again and these interventions are called revision surgery.

The patient is re-evaluated for revision surgery when obesity surgery is performed but the desired result is not achieved or other conditions occur. However, a patient who has had obesity surgery may not be deemed suitable for a new obesity surgery in the evaluation.

In general, those who use drugs, have eating disorders, do not want to receive viremin and nutritional support, and have reflux are not suitable for revision surgery.

Before deciding on revision surgery, whether the patient is suitable for revision surgery is evaluated by looking at the cases. In addition to these, it is also necessary to evaluate the failed patient. In addition, the patient who is re-evaluated for revision surgery should be examined in general by a psychologist and dietician. Even determining whether there is an important factor such as stress will significantly affect the success of revision surgery.

Postoperative patient controls are performed every three months in the first year, and in the second year, they can be performed at 18 and 24 months. Follow-ups after the third year are performed annually.
