Surgical Intervention Weight Loss
Studies have shown that obesity is the fifth most dangerous disease in the world. Excessive obesity will bring many harms to people, such as inducing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood fat, heart disease, stroke, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, depression, inducing female infertility, breast cancer, etc.
WTO defines the three major standards for healthy weight loss as no hunger, no diarrhea, and no fatigue. Numerous examples have shown that it is difficult for various weight loss methods to achieve such effects.
Although dieting and exercising are effective, it is often difficult for people to resist the temptation of delicious food for a long time. Due to various reasons such as busy work, it is difficult to persevere in exercising.
Drugs to control hunger should be the best way to lose weight, but currently, drugs can only reduce body weight by 2.0-6.5kg, and drugs may cause liver and kidney damage, and once stopped, it is easy to rebound.
Is there an effective weight loss method without side effects? yes! Interventional surgery. Interventional surgery is a promising minimally invasive approach to weight loss. The name of interventional surgery for obesity is "left gastric artery embolization".
Because the gastric fundus area is the most densely distributed area of human ghrelin cells, blocking the blood supply of the gastric fundus area will reduce the level of ghrelin cells, thereby reducing hunger, and unwilling to eat too much food, so as to achieve the goal of "eating less" .
The left gastric artery supplies most of the blood flow to the fundus of the stomach."Left gastric artery embolization" is a minimally invasive treatment guided by digital subtraction angiography. After percutaneous puncture of the femoral artery, a thin catheter is introduced into the left gastric artery, and tiny embolic particles are injected along the catheter to block the blood supply to the fundus region of the stomach. Small trauma, good curative effect, quick recovery.
