PROCEDURES METABOLIC SURGERY
Ileal Interposition
An advanced metabolic procedure in which a segment taken from the final part of the small intestine is moved to an earlier point in the digestive tract. It is considered in selected cases.
How we proceed
- 1
Assessing the current picture through a detailed history, physical examination and laboratory tests.
- 2
Reviewing the eligibility criteria for ileal interposition together with the surgeon, endocrinologist, dietitian and psychologist.
- 3
If a decision is reached, setting out the preparation period, the procedure and the expected hospital stay in advance.
- 4
Follow-up after discharge with a nutrition plan and a defined schedule of review appointments across the first year.
Other procedures in this department
Type 2 Diabetes Surgery
The collective name for metabolic procedures aimed at blood glucose regulation. Assessment is made with endocrinology and rests on the metabolic picture rather than on weight alone.
Transit Bipartition
Alongside a sleeve, part of the food stream is directed to the final section of the small intestine. Its metabolic effect is prominent and endoscopic access to the duodenum is preserved.
Metabolic Risk Assessment
A preparatory assessment covering blood glucose, insulin resistance, lipid profile, liver fat and screening for sleep apnoea. It is what any surgical decision rests on.
