A Look At Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery
By Eddie Tobey, Thu Dec 8th

Most bariatric surgeries can be performed using a minimallyinvasive technique called laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Duringthis type of procedure, the surgeons make five or six tinyincisions instead of one large incision to perform theoperation. The surgeons use an instrument similar to atelescope, which is placed in the abdomen after it is inflatedwith gas. The laparoscope is then connected to a tiny cameraallows the surgeons to perform the surgery by viewing it on ascreen.

There are many benefits to laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Byeliminating the large abdominal incision, patients generallyrecover more quickly and experience less pain following thesurgery. Also, the occurrence of complications such infectionsand hernias are significantly reduced with the use oflaparoscopes. Many laparoscopic surgery patients find that theyhave a better cosmetic result, with smaller incisions and lessscarring.

Gastric banding is particularly well-suited as a laparoscopicprocedure, and laparoscopic removal of the band is also possibleonce sufficient weight loss has been achieved.


In some cases, patients with prior surgeries or who are verymorbidly obese may not be eligible for laparoscopic bariatricsurgery. In rare cases, patients who encounter problems duringlaparoscopic surgery may awake to find that their surgeons havehad to perform open surgery instead.
