What is Transit Bipartition?
Transit bipartition surgery is an advanced surgery method applied to diabetes patients who do not have overweight problems. This surgery is the most effective of the current treatment. Transit bipartition operation, which is within the scope of metabolic surgery, is the most advanced of all methods in this scope. Therefore, it is often preferred by diabetic patients. The purpose of this surgery; to disrupt the way of absorption and to limit the consumption of food. Although it is thought that the digestive system will be disrupted with this surgery due to the deterioration of absorption, side effects related to the digestive system are very rare.
Â
In transit bipartition surgeries, absorption is impaired as carefully as possible. In order to perform this operation, first of all, the stomach capasity of the patients is restricted. In this surgery, which is applied for the treatment of diabetes patients, stomach restriction is absolutely done to keep blood sugar under control even if the patients do not have weight problems. In transit bipartition surgeries, the stomach of the patients is reduced by approximately seventy percent.
How is Transit Bipartition Surgery Performed?
In transit bipartition surgeries performed for the permanent treatment of diabetes, the stomach is primarily reduced, that is, part of it is removed. The part of the hormone secretion that causes an increase in appetite is also in the stomach part taken during the surgery. With the removal of this part, the hormone level that triggers the appetite in the body is reduced, and thus the patients with weight problems are also treated. After the removal of a large part of the stomach, the remaining stomach is closed by stapling. The purpose of using the stapling method is to prevent leakage in the stomach.
Â
In the next stage of the surgery, the intestines are intervened. In transit bipartition operation, part of the intestine is also removed, but the amount of intestine to be removed differs from patient to patient. After the separation of the intestines into two, the upper end of the lower intestine is connected to the bottom of the stomach. The intestinal connection, which is naturally present in the stomach, is then connected with the lower intestine. Thus, two different intestinal connections are made.
Who Can Have It Done?
Transit bipartition surgery is a surgical method used by diabetics, but this surgery is not suitable for every diabetic patient.The success of the operation depends on this compliance. For this reason, the doctor decides on the suitability of surgery.
Â
In general, people who are appropriate for transit bipartition surgery are:
- Patients who suffers from Type 2 diabetics
- People with type 2 diabetes who have sufficient reserves to produce sugar resistance hormone
- People with a body mass index between 20 and 30
- People who do not have a health problem that would prevent them from undergoing transit bipartition surgery
- In order for this surgery to be successful, it is generally between the ages of 25 and 30.
Recovery Process After the Operation
Since most of the stomach is removed in this operation, it is normal to have a decrease in the desire to eat. During this period, patients gradually switch to their diets as liquid, puree and solid. This diet is explained to the patients in detail by the experts. In this process, patients are expected to follow the doctor’s recommendations and diet list exactly.
Â
It is known that approximately 95 percent of diabetes patients recover in the first year after a successful operation. In addition to this;
Â
- Approximately sixty percent of the food taken by the patients is excreted through the new intestinal tract.
- About forty percent of the food consumed is excreted through the old intestinal connection.
- Digestion is accelerated due to the passage through two different intestinal connections.
- The amount of sugar that enters the blood is reduced

Turkey is the Center in Obesity Treatment!
One of the strongest areas of Turkey, which is considered among the top 10 countries in the world in health tourism, is obesity treatment. Having specialist doctors, dietitians and surgeons pointed out by the world in bariatric surgery, Turkey is especially preferred by Europe with its qualified and comfortable hospitals. Turkey offers a relaxing holiday opportunity for patients as it is a real tourism paradise, which foreign patients trust with its price advantages as well as quality service.
Â
Due to the increase in obesity in the world and the global crisis, most of the European countries have changed their health policies and decided to exclude many treatments in this field from the insurance coverage. Many patients, who had to pay the high costs of this long-term treatment, were deprived of this treatment. Turkey, on the other hand, has preferred to be a center where these transactions can be carried out with much more economical costs by completely arranging its price policy in accordance with the policies of developing health tourism. In this way, even with a rough calculation, it seems that the entire cost of accommodation, flight and treatment for patients coming to Turkey for treatment is lower than the cost of treatment in their own country. This makes Turkey inevitable for treatment.
