Tube Stomach surgery is the process of cutting out the left outer part of a laparoscopic scalpel. The main purpose of tube stomach surgery is to create a stomach with a volume of 120-150 ml to restrict food intake and reduce the time for food to reach the stomach.
By reducing the volume of the stomach it is possible to reduce the amount of food intake and decrease the level of the “ghrelin” hormone which causes the feeling of hunger, which is secreted from the upper left of the stomach
