Research Into Bariatric Laparoscopy
Laparoscopic surgery
is a minimally invasive surgical technique used by many bariatric surgeons
to improve on the older traditional method of operating. During traditional
"open" bariatric surgeries, the surgeon typically makes an 8-10
inch incision to open the abdomen. By comparison, the less-invasive laparoscopic
method uses 5-6 small incisions (up to 1/2 inch each) through which a
small fiber-optic tube (the laparoscope) is inserted, and connected to
a video camera. (See Laparoscopic
Roux-en-Y and Open
Roux-en-Y). Whether laparoscope-assisted weight loss surgery produces
fewer perioperative or post-operative complications is still an open question.
Much seems to depend on how skilled and experienced the surgeon is in
laparoscopy. Here are some studies into laparoscopic surgery to treat
severe clinical obesity.
