Local Doctors Perfrom Complex Surgery on Morbidly Obese Patient
A team of doctors from Zulekha Health center has successfully performed an extremely intricate bariatric surgical procedure on a morbidly obese Sharjah citizen.
Considering 168kg, the 31 year old Emirati individual had been experiencing constant abdominal discomfort, lack of breath, extreme joint swelling and had actually struggled with reduced self-esteem for many years.
With greater than 500 stomach and bariatric surgeries under his belt, Dr Mohanad Mohamad Sultan Aljanabi, Expert General and Bariatric Cosmetic surgeon at Zulekha Hospital Sharjah claimed: "About 25% per cent of clients who undergo this sort of surgery are identified as incredibly overweight and with the obesity prices on increase across the UAE, we anticipate more people to be referred for this kind of treatment."
The client, who wants to remain anonymous, was classified as morbidly overweight with a body mass index (BMI) of 56.7; the recommended BMI for someone in their 30s is below 25.
Dr Aljanabi included: "Once a person obtains beyond 40 BMI, diet plan and workout are ineffective in causing lasting weight reduction and the only means for them to lower weight is through a surgical procedure.
" Usually, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an uncomplicated procedure, yet in situations of morbidly overweight patients it could lead to severe complications, including inner bleeding and the incident of blood clots and leaks."
The person, a long-standing customer of Zulekha Medical facility, claimed it was her previous favorable experience with Zulekha Health center that prompted her to go through the surgery.
She claimed: "My experience with the medical facility has always been satisfying and I determined to go through the surgery as Dr Aljanabi's guidance motivated and convinced me about the positive impacts it would have. For the very first time in my life, I wasn't terrified of the operation as the physician was very approachable and pleasant and explained to me in detail just what the treatment would require."
Considered one of one of the most efficient ways of lowering weight, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a minimally invasive surgery during which surgeons eliminate around 75 per cent of an individual's belly. This brings about the loss of 80% of excess weight within the adhering to 9-12 months.
Discharged from the medical facility only 3 days after the surgery, the patient was furnished with customized dietary and workout standards.
She added: "I have actually been encouraged by the physician to do simple exercises, walk for half a hr each day, and consume foods that are abundant in healthy protein and vitamins. I currently feel more confident after the surgical treatment and will certainly continuously comply with the physician's guidance to keep a healthy way of living."
The medical professionals expect a boost in such surgical procedures; according to recent evaluation collected through the Global Burden of Condition Research study, greater than 66 percent of males and 60 percent of females in the UAE are obese or overweight.
In accordance with Zulekha Healthcare facility's dedication to dealing with the growing obesity prices throughout the nation, the hospital recently introduced a No More Excuses campaign, aimed at urging UAE residents to begin taking responsibility for their health and health and wellbeing.
