Sleeve Gastrectomy
Gastric sleeve surgery, also called sleeve gastrectomy, is a bariatric surgery procedure. It is performed laparoscopically (Keyhole surgery).
The gastric sleeve operation removes about 80% of your stomach, leaving behind a tubular “sleeve,” about the size and shape of a banana.
This surgery is offered to help people with clinically severe obesity achieve effective weight loss and ameliorate their obesity related diseases.
Roux En Y Gastric Bypass Surgery
This surgery is performed by laparoscopy (keyhole surgery). The stomach is reconstructed in which there is a small stomach pouch that is then connected to the small bowel. Another connection is made between the small bowel and the small bowel to redirect the bile away from the stomach. This surgery will cause metabolic changes that will cause a reduction of weight as well as amelioration of obesity related diseases.
One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (Mini Bypass)
In this surgery that is performed laparoscopically (Keyhole Surgery) we create a small long stomach that is in the shape of a tube. We then connect the end of this tube to a side of the small bowel. This surgery is now endorsed by all major Bariatric societies. It helps reducing the total body weight by 30-40% and ameliorate obesity related diseases.
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
In this endoscopic procedure the endoscope is inserted in the mouth to be used to reduce the stomach size by suturing.
