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.

Laparoscopic or open bariatric surgery, such as gastric banding or bypass is not an easy solution to morbid obesity and weight loss. It is a serious surgical procedure, involving health risks. To produce lasting weight loss it requires a long-term patient commitment to eating a healthy diet and following a regular program of physical exercise. Life-long use of nutritional supplements may also be necessary. So, before deciding, discuss your options fully with your doctor. © 2003-2008 Bariatric-Surgery.Info - Terms - Contact - Information - Resources - Add URL
