Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass surgery, also known as stomach bypass surgery, is designed to help obese individuals lose weight. This procedure can reduce excess weight by 60-80% and is often performed laparoscopically. Laparoscopy helps to minimize pain, speed up recovery, and reduce hospitalization time. Following post-operative instructions is crucial to maximize weight loss and minimize complications.
Mini Gastric Bypass
Mini Gastric Bypass is a modified version of the classic gastric bypass. It involves splitting the stomach vertically, closing it with staplers to form a sleeve, and connecting the small intestine directly to this new stomach. This method bypasses most of the stomach, slowing food absorption and limiting the amount of food that can be eaten.
Gastric Plication
Gastric Plication is performed through 5 small incisions in the abdomen using laparoscopic tools and an endoscopic lens. This procedure involves folding the stomach wall using non-absorbable sutures to reduce stomach capacity by 70%, thus decreasing the volume of food consumed.
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Obesity can lead to severe health issues like hypertension, high cholesterol, arthritis, sleep apnea, and an increased risk of heart diseases and certain cancers. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a surgical option designed to address these issues by significantly reducing stomach size.
Metabolic Surgery
Metabolic surgery is used to treat metabolic syndrome, a condition characterized by weight gain, high blood glucose, hypertension, and high cholesterol. This surgery addresses the underlying causes of metabolic syndrome, which can lead to severe health complications such as organ failure, cardiovascular diseases, and gastrointestinal disorders.
