Types of Bariatric Surgeries:

Laparoscopic gastric sleeve

Laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a minimally invasive weight-loss procedure that involves removing a large portion of the stomach to create a narrow, tube-like structure, resembling a sleeve. This reduced stomach size limits food intake and promotes earlier satiety, which can significantly aid in weight loss.
The laparoscopic approach utilizes small incisions and specialized instruments, leading to shorter recovery times, less postoperative pain, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
This procedure is often considered for individuals struggling with obesity and related health conditions, offering a potentially effective solution for long-term weight management and improved quality of life.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a highly effective weight-loss surgery that combines restrictive and malabsorptive techniques to aid in significant and sustained weight loss.
The procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch and connecting it directly to a lower section of the small intestine, bypassing a large portion of the stomach and upper small intestine. Performed through small abdominal incisions using specialized instruments and a camera, this minimally invasive approach reduces recovery time, postoperative pain, and scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
RYGB not only helps with weight loss but also often leads to improvements in obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension, though it requires a commitment to lifestyle changes and ongoing medical follow-up.

Laparoscopic mini gastric bypass

Laparoscopic mini gastric bypass is an effective weight loss procedure where a small pouch is created in the stomach and connected to a part of the small intestine via a single anastomosis, unlike the RYGB procedure which involves multiple anastomoses
This surgery is performed through small incisions using a camera and specialized tools. It is characterized by shorter recovery time and fewer complications compared to Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), though the amount of weight loss may be less.

Laparoscopic SASI

Laparoscopic SASI (Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal) is a weight-loss surgery that combines sleeve gastrectomy with an ileal bypass. It involves creating a small stomach pouch and connecting it to a section of the ileum, reducing both stomach volume and nutrient absorption. This minimally invasive procedure, performed through small incisions, leads to significant weight loss and improves obesity-related conditions.

Santoro-OP

Santoro-OP is a modern weight-loss surgery that combines elements of gastric sleeve and bypass techniques. It involves creating a small stomach pouch and connecting it to a part of the small intestine, reducing stomach volume and altering nutrient absorption.
This minimally invasive procedure, performed through small incisions with the aid of a camera and specialized tools, offers significant weight loss and improvement in obesity-related conditions, with shorter recovery times and less postoperative discomfort compared to traditional surgeries.
