Revision Surgery is a surgical procedure performed to reorganize or repair a previously performed surgical procedure. This also applies to sleeve gastrectomy. For example, Revision Surgery can be performed when there is a decrease in stomach capacity, problems with the digestive system or other complications after gastric sleeve surgery.
This procedure is performed to expand the stomach capacity, solve problems with the digestive system or prevent other complications. Revision Surgery can be used to resolve complications from previous surgical procedures. However, it may involve a higher risk and require a longer recovery period.

In the field of general surgery, Revision Surgery can be performed to eliminate problems that occurred during a previous bariatric surgery procedure.
