What is LAGB?

LAGB is a type of bariatric surgery that uses an adjustable band to restrict the size of the stomach. The procedure is performed laparoscopically, implying that it involves small incisions in the abdomen rather than one large cut. The band creates a small stomach pouch above it, with a narrow opening to the larger portion of the stomach below. This small pouch ensures that even with a small quantity of food , there is a feeling of fullness.
 

Key features of LAGB include:

• Minimally invasive procedure
• Adjustable and reversible
• No stapling or cutting of the stomach
• Typically requires a short hospital stay

Why is it done?
LAGB is recommended for individuals with severe obesity who have not achieved long-term success with non-surgical weight loss methods. Specific criteria for LAGB include:

• Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 40, or
• BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea, or hypertension

The procedure aims to help patients achieve significant weight loss, improve obesity-related health conditions, and enhance overall quality of life.

What happens during the procedure?
The LAGB procedure typically involves the following steps:

• General anaesthesia is administered to the patient.
• The surgeon makes 1 to 5 small incisions in the abdomen to insert a camera and surgical instruments.
• Using laparoscopic techniques, the surgeon places the adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach.
• The band is connected to a small port placed under the skin of the abdomen, usually near the rib cage.
• The incisions are closed, completing the procedure.

The entire surgery usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes when performed by an experienced surgeon. Post-surgery, the band can be adjusted by adding or removing saline solution through the port, allowing for customization of the stomach opening size to meet the patient's weight loss needs and comfort level.

What is Sleeve Gastrectomy?
Sleeve gastrectomy is a type of bariatric surgery that involves removing approximately 80% of the stomach, leaving a sleeve-shaped stomach about the size and shape of a banana. This smaller stomach can't hold as much food, which limits calorie intake and leads to weight loss. Additionally, the procedure reduces the production of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates hunger, further aiding in weight loss.

Key features of Sleeve Gastrectomy include:

• Permanent alteration of the stomach
• No rerouting of the intestines
• Typically performed laparoscopically
• Can lead to significant weight loss and improvement in obesity-related conditions

Why is it done?
Sleeve gastrectomy is recommended for individuals with severe obesity who have not achieved long-term success with non-surgical weight loss methods. Specific criteria include:

• Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 40, or
• BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea, or hypertension
   

The procedure aims to help patients achieve significant weight loss, improve obesity-related health conditions, and enhance overall quality of life.

Read more

What happens during the procedure?
The sleeve gastrectomy procedure typically involves the following steps:

• General anaesthesia is administered to the patient.
• The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen to insert a camera and surgical instruments.
• Using laparoscopic techniques, the surgeon removes about 80% of the stomach along the greater curvature.
• The remaining stomach is stapled closed, creating a tube or "sleeve" shape.
• The incisions are closed, completing the procedure.
   

The entire surgery usually takes between 60 to 90 minutes when performed by an experienced surgeon. Post-surgery, patients typically stay in the hospital for 1-2 days for monitoring and to begin adjusting to their new dietary requirements.

What is Gastric Bypass?
Gastric bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a surgical procedure that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. This procedure works through both restriction (limiting food intake) and malabsorption (reducing calorie and nutrient absorption).
 

Key features of Gastric Bypass include:

• Considered the "gold standard" of weight loss surgeries
• Typically results in rapid and significant weight loss
• Can lead to dramatic improvement in obesity-related conditions
• Requires lifelong vitamin and mineral supplementation

Why is it done?
Gastric bypass is recommended for individuals with severe obesity who have not achieved long-term success with non-surgical weight loss methods. Specific criteria include:

• Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 40, or
• BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions

The procedure aims to help patients achieve significant weight loss, improve obesity-related health conditions (especially type 2 diabetes), and enhance overall quality of life.

What happens during the procedure?
The gastric bypass procedure typically involves the following steps:

• General anaesthesia is administered to the patient.
• The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen to insert a camera and surgical instruments.
• A small stomach pouch is created by dividing the top of the stomach from the rest of the stomach.
• The small intestine is then divided, and the lower portion (the Roux limb) is connected to the newly created small stomach pouch.
• The other end of the small intestine is connected to the Roux limb lower down, creating a "Y" shape.
• The incisions are closed, completing the procedure.

The entire surgery usually takes between 2 to 3 hours when performed by an experienced surgeon. Post-surgery, patients typically stay in the hospital for 2-3 days for monitoring and to begin adjusting to their new dietary requirements.

What is Bilio-pancreatic Diversion?
Bilio-pancreatic diversion (BPD) is a complex weight loss surgery that involves removing a portion of the stomach and rerouting the small intestine. In the duodenal switch variation (BPD/DS), about 80% of the stomach is removed, and the small intestine is rearranged to separate food from digestive juices until the last portion of the small intestine. This limits both food intake and nutrient absorption.
 

Key features of Bilio-pancreatic Diversion include:

• Most complex and highest-risk bariatric procedure
• Results in the most significant weight loss and metabolic changes
• Requires strict adherence to dietary guidelines and lifelong supplementation
• Typically reserved for super-obese patients or those with severe metabolic disorders

Why is it done?
BPD is typically recommended for individuals with super obesity (BMI 50 or higher) or those with severe obesity-related health conditions who have not achieved success with other weight loss methods. The procedure aims to:

• Achieve significant and sustained weight loss
• Improve or resolve severe obesity-related health conditions, particularly type 2 diabetes
• Enhance overall quality of life for patients with extreme obesity

What happens during the procedure?
The BPD procedure typically involves the following steps:

• General anaesthesia is administered to the patient.
• The surgeon makes several incisions in the abdomen to insert surgical instruments.
• About 70-80% of the stomach is removed, similar to a sleeve gastrectomy.
• The small intestine is divided and rearranged, creating a longer bypass than in standard gastric bypass.
• A portion of the small intestine is connected to the remaining stomach.
• Another portion of the small intestine is connected further down, allowing digestive enzymes to mix with food.
• The incisions are closed, completing the procedure.

The surgery usually takes 3-4 hours. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 3-4 days’ post-surgery for monitoring and to begin adjusting to their new dietary requirements.

What is Metabolic Surgery?
Metabolic surgery refers to surgical procedures primarily aimed at treating metabolic disorders, particularly type 2 diabetes, in patients with obesity. While these surgeries often result in weight loss, their primary goal is to improve or resolve obesity-related metabolic conditions. Common metabolic surgeries include gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.
 

Key features of Metabolic Surgery include:

• Focuses on improving metabolic health beyond weight loss
• Can lead to remission of type 2 diabetes in many patients
• May be considered for patients with lower BMIs who have poorly controlled diabetes
• Alters gut hormones and metabolism to improve blood sugar control

Why is it done?
Metabolic surgery is recommended for individuals with:

• Type 2 diabetes and a BMI of 35 or higher
• Poorly controlled type 2 diabetes with a BMI between 30 and 35 (in some cases)
• Other metabolic disorders associated with obesity, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol
   

The primary aim is to improve or resolve metabolic conditions, particularly type 2 diabetes, often before significant weight loss occurs.

What happens during the procedure?
The specific steps depend on the type of metabolic surgery chosen (e.g., gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy). Generally, the procedure involves:

• Administration of general anaesthesia.
• Making small incisions in the abdomen for laparoscopic instruments.
• Altering the digestive system, either by creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine (gastric bypass) or by removing a large portion of the stomach (sleeve gastrectomy).
• Closing the incisions.

The surgery typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on the specific procedure. Patients usually stay in the hospital for 1-3 days post-surgery for monitoring and to begin adjusting to their new dietary requirements.

What is Endoscopic Bariatric Surgery?
Endoscopic bariatric surgery refers to minimally invasive weight loss procedures performed entirely through the mouth using an endoscope, without any external incisions. These procedures can be used for primary weight loss treatment or to revise previous bariatric surgeries.
 

Key features of Endoscopic Bariatric Surgery include:

• Less invasive than traditional bariatric surgeries
• Often performed as outpatient procedures
• Can be reversible or repeatable
• May be suitable for patients with lower BMIs or as a bridge to more definitive surgery

Why is it done?
Endoscopic bariatric procedures are recommended for:

• Individuals with a BMI between 30 and 40 who haven't succeeded in losing weight  with diet and exercise
• Patients who are not candidates for traditional bariatric surgery due to medical reasons
• Those who need revision of a previous bariatric surgery
• Patients seeking a less invasive option with potentially fewer complications
   

The aim is to provide effective weight loss solutions with reduced risk and faster recovery compared to traditional surgical approaches.

What happens during the procedure?
While specific steps vary depending on the type of endoscopic procedure, generally:

• The patient is sedated or given general anaesthesia.
• An endoscope is inserted through the mouth into the stomach.
• Depending on the procedure, the surgeon may:
• Place a temporary device in the stomach (e.g., intragastric balloon)
• Use suturing devices to reduce stomach size (e.g., endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty)
• Revise a previous gastric bypass
• The endoscope is removed once the procedure is complete.

Most endoscopic procedures take 30 minutes to 2 hours. Patients often go home the same day or after a short observation period.

What is SILS?
SILS is an advanced minimally invasive surgical technique where the entire operation is performed through a single small incision, typically in the navel. In bariatric surgery, this technique can be applied to procedures like sleeve gastrectomy or gastric banding.
 

Key features of SILS include:

• Virtually scarless surgery
• Potentially less postoperative pain
• Requires specialized equipment and advanced surgical skills
• May not be suitable for all patients or procedures

Why is it done?
SILS is performed to:

• Achieve the benefits of laparoscopic surgery with even less invasiveness
• Potentially lead to less pain and faster recovery
• Provide better cosmetic results with a single, often hidden incision
• Offer patients a less traumatic surgical experience

It's typically offered to patients who are candidates for traditional laparoscopic bariatric surgery and prefer the potential benefits of the single-incision approach.

What happens during the procedure?
The SILS procedure typically involves:

• Administration of general anaesthesia.
• Making a single incision, usually in the navel, about 2-3 cm long.
• Inserting a specially designed port that allows multiple instruments to be used through the single incision.
• Performing the bariatric procedure (e.g., sleeve gastrectomy) using specialized curved instruments and a flexible laparoscope.
• Removing the instruments and closing the single incision.
   

The duration of the surgery is comparable to traditional laparoscopic approaches, typically 1-2 hours depending on the specific procedure. Recovery time may be slightly shorter than with traditional laparoscopic surgery.

Read more

What is Robotic Surgery?
Robotic surgery in bariatrics involves the use of a robotic system, typically the da Vinci system, to assist in weight loss procedures. The surgeon controls robotic arms from a console in the operating room, which translates the surgeon's hand movements into precise movements of surgical instruments inside the patient's body.
 

Key features of Robotic Surgery include:

• Enhanced 3D visualization for the surgeon
• Greater precision and dexterity, especially in complex cases
• Potential for reduced complications and faster recovery
• Requires specialized training and equipment

Why is it done?
Robotic-assisted bariatric surgery is performed to:

• Enhance surgical precision, particularly in complex cases
• Improve visualization during the procedure
• Potentially reduce complications compared to traditional laparoscopic techniques
• Offer the benefits of minimally invasive surgery even in challenging cases
   

It's typically offered as an alternative to traditional laparoscopic surgery for various bariatric procedures, including gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.

What happens during the procedure?
Robotic bariatric surgery typically involves:

• Administration of general anaesthesia.
• Making several small incisions in the abdomen.
• Inserting the robotic arms and camera through these incisions.
• The surgeon sitting at a nearby console to control the robotic arms.
• Performing the bariatric procedure (e.g., gastric bypass) using the robotic system.
• Removing the robotic instruments and closing the incisions.
   

The duration of robotic surgery is often similar to or slightly longer than traditional laparoscopic approaches, typically 2-3 hours depending on the specific procedure. Recovery time is generally comparable to laparoscopic surgery, with potential for reduced pain and complications in some cases.
