No one can deny the efforts of Doctors in the field of bariatric surgery worldwide. They are constantly looking to offer all that is updated, and better for obese patients. Considering some important points that need to be found in order to maintain the patient's health. It is as follows:

- Providing complete rest for obese patients after bariatric surgery.

- Reduce the incidence of complications after surgeries. 

- The continuous development of medical devices and tools, in order to ensure the success of the operation.

- Reduce the wound area and the number of surgical openings used for the operation.

All this in order to perform the operation to the fullest accuracy and security. 

They initially came up with Gastric balloon operations. Then they develop and reach the Gastric Sleeve and Gastric Bypass. These two operations were performed through several surgical openings. Some patients did not prefer several scars in the abdominal area after the operation. They Kept thinking until they come up with a Single-Port Gastric Sleeve surgery.

Gastric sleeves with a normal scope were performed through five openings, as follows:

* The first and second openings are for the doctor who specializes in bariatric surgery. 

* The third one is for shooting and follow-up. This is done through a camera dedicated to performing such operations, which enters this opening.

* The fourth one is used by the assistant doctor of the surgeon performing the operation.

* The fifth and final opening through which a specific machine is inserted, so that the liver stays at a level elevated from the stomach. This makes it easier for your surgeon to deal with the stomach during the procedure.

Dear reader, Single-Port Gastric Sleeve surgery is the introduction of all the tools used during the operation, through a single surgical opening in the navel area. Therefore, the process does not have clear and visible scars after completion. 

As a matter of fact. Such surgery is not an easy surgery. It requires a skilled surgeon with great skill and accuracy to perform such an operation.

Of course not. Not all obese patients are candidates for such an operation. There are certain situations where the this process is not suitable. And it's:

* People with excessive weight gain of more than 150 kg.

* People who are obese have had medical surgeries before.

* Sometimes very rare, while you're undergoing a  Single-Port Gastric Sleeve surgery. Your doctor may make a decision to convert the operation to a normal Gastric Sleeve with five surgical openings when he discovers that it is not suitable for you. All of this is agreed between you and the doctor who will perform the procedure, before the operation is completed.

The result of this process is Excellent as it is:

♦ Maintains the outer shape of the abdominal area without scar or surgical marking. This is because the operation is performed from a single surgical opening in the navel area. It is therefore an invisible wound in an invisible area. So it keeps the body shape as beautiful as it is. This makes it a favorite for women.

* Keeps the tissue surrounding the area of the operation safe without damage.

Various advantages you get when you undergo such an operation, which is:

- Also, dear obese patient, you can return to your normal life within a few days after the operation.

- Because the surgical area is invisible, no one will know whether you performed the operation or not.

Obesity is becoming widespread globally. And its patients' screams began to rise, asking for help. Obesity causes many health, psychological and other problems. And we'll mention some of them here:

* Obesity makes her patient vulnerable to:

 - High blood pressure (Hypertension): Obesity results in increased fat accumulated throughout the body. Like any cell, these fats need to be fed and supplied with oxygen in order to survive. The higher the fat, the higher your blood pressure. And it became a burden on the heart. And then it causes stress to the heart muscle. It also increases blood fat. It may lead to atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases.

 - Type 2 Diabetes: Being overweight increases the risk of type 2 Diabetes. Increased blood fat hinders and disrupts the role of insulin in providing glucose for use as an energy source.

 - Depression: overweight and despair of multiple failed attempts, and inability to move and exercise. All this leads to depression.  

 - Arthritis: As a result of excess weight and the heavy load on the joints leads to inflammation of the joint membrane. And that causes a lot of pain.

 - Reproduction: Excess weight and accumulated fat reduce the hormones responsible for fertility, which affects and disrupts the reproduction process. 

* Before you choose and make the decision to perform such an operation, or other bariatric surgery. You should choose a competent and experienced doctor in such a field. He is acclaimed by the people and has many success stories circulating on social media. 

* Choose a doctor who provides you with excellent follow-up before and after the operation. 

* Your doctor will choose the right type of operation according to the nature of your body, and according to the tests you will be undergoing before the operation.

* If you smoke, stop smoking 2 weeks before the operation. Smoking hinders the rapid healing of wounds.

* You should follow a specific diet after the procedure. This is to ensure the success of the operation.
