Gastric bypass surgery abroad is performed according to new safe and gentle standards, which allows us to guarantee a lasting positive effect without health risks.

How is gastric bypass performed and what is it?

Gastric bypass surgery is primarily designed to reduce weight, both for subjective aesthetic and therapeutic purposes. As a result of the reduction in the volume of the stomach, a person begins to lose weight rapidly. After 12-18 months, body weight stabilizes, and as a result, the patient manages to eliminate 70-80% of excess fat. In addition to weight loss, bypass surgery helps to compensate for diabetes mellitus and normalize the lipid-carbohydrate balance in the body.

The operation is performed after a preliminary diagnosis, exclusion of contraindications and hospitalization.

An approximate algorithm for the procedure:

  • Premedication
  • Provision of anesthesia
  • Disinfection of the surgical field
  • Registration of laparoscopic access
  • Injection of gas into the abdominal cavity
  • Resection of a part of the stomach using a surgical stapler or bandage
  • Attachment of a Y-shaped fragment of the small intestine to the remaining stomach tissues
  • Wound suturing and drainage (optional)
  • Surgical dressing

Bypass surgery is performed through both traditional laparoscopic access and single-port access (SILS), in which all manipulations are performed through a single puncture. Due to the atraumatic nature and delicacy of the technique, recovery after surgery is quick, easy and comfortable for the patient.

Gastrointestinal plastic surgery, which completes the operation, gives an additional effect – preventing the mixing of consumed food with pancreas and chyme, which provides less intensive absorption of nutrients and calorie reduction.
