Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass

WHAT IS LAPAROSCOPIC GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY?

Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery involves making the stomach into a smaller pouch shape and rerouting a portion of the small intestine. This changes the way the stomach connects with the digestive tract. This procedure restricts the amount of food that can be consumed and alters the absorption of nutrients, promoting effective weight loss over time. One of the key advantages of laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is its minimally invasive nature. Instead of a large incision, several small incisions are made, allowing the surgeon to insert a laparoscope and specialized instruments into the abdomen. This technique reduces scarring, minimizes post-operative pain, and generally leads to a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
