Mini Gastric Bypass is an operation performed in the easiest, shortest time among bariatric surgery operations, short hospital stay and at the most economical costs. Mini gastric Bypass surgery provides weight loss achieved by Standard bypass surgeries. It is an operation with high control power in cases such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, which are the leading signs of metabolic syndrome.
Mini-Gastric Bypass, also known as single anastomosis gastric bypass, is a procedure that combines some features of tube stomach surgery and a standard gastric bypass. A long gastric bag is created, and then the formed gastric bag is combined with a part of the small intestine.
What is the difference between a gastric bypass and a mini bypass?
Just as in the case of an RNY Gastric Bypass operation, the stomach is divided into two parts. The difference between RNY and Gastric Bypass is that the intestine connects to the stomach without dividing. Thus, in the Mini Gastric Bypass operation, one connection is made less in total. If the absorption is reduced, a longer intestinal section is bypassed in the Mini Gastric Bypass operation than in the RNY Gastric Bypass operation. Due to the fact that the remaining stomach fluids and the passage of bile in its continuation are the ends of the reduced stomach, there is a possibility of bile reflux during a Mini Gastric Bypass operation.
In none of the Gastric Bypass surgeries, the stomach is not removed, the stomach is reduced in itself. As a matter of fact, it is extremely advantageous in two operations. In both operations, it reduces the volume of the stomach and provides absorption. Thus, patients lose weight. He is successful at the stage of losing weight in two operations.

Bile from the liver continues down, emptying into the stomach without any obstacles in front of it. For this reason, after Mini Gastric Bypass, patients are at risk of severe bile reflux and alkaline reflux gastritis.
- In Mini gastric Bypass surgery, the new stomach is created, while the old stomach remains closed inside as it is. Endoscopy cannot be performed after Mini Gastric Bypass surgery on this large part of the stomach, and in case of possible problems, the possibility of early diagnosis or non-surgical treatment is eliminated.
- The stomach is divided into two parts, while the neural stimulation of the remaining stomach is completely severed.
