Veins, Arteries and Blood ?

Hello everyone.

I have watched a few videos on gastric sleeve surgery, and find them very interesting, but I still have some questions about the surgery.

When the surgeon staples and cuts the part of the stomach that is to be removed I notice that there are many veins and arteries on the edge of the stomach remaining.

Question !- Aren’t the veins and arteries being cut needed to supply the stomach with blood ?

Question 2- Do the veins and arteries that were cut regenerate or grow back again ?


 

If anyone has any information on this subject please reply.

I love anything to do with the topic of medicine, surgeries and diseases. I'm not a student of medicine, but wish I had been in the medical field.

Sorry, newbie, did not know there was a cross-over between forums, I thought one had to post in each forum. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, will not happen again.

Thanks, I'm starting to get too absent minded to remember ... I thought I had replied to this... but it's empty... makes me worry about my own memory!
