  2. Sleeve gastrectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeve_gastrectomy

    Sleeve gastrectomy was originally performed as a modification to another bariatric procedure, the duodenal switch, and then later as the first part of a two-stage gastric bypass operation on extremely obese patients for whom the risk of performing gastric bypass surgery was deemed too large. The initial weight loss in these patients was so ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoscopic_sleeve_gastroplasty

    Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most common bariatric surgeries performed worldwide and shares a similar restricted stomach configuration with the ESG. However, it appears to operate with different weight loss mechanisms from the ESG, as it has been shown to reduce the hunger hormone ghrelin , [ 29 ] [ 43 ] as well as ...

  4. Bariatric surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bariatric_surgery

    This procedure is similar to the sleeve gastrectomy surgery, but a sleeve is created by suturing, rather than physically removing stomach tissue. [73] This allows for the natural ability of the stomach to absorb nutrients to remain intact. [73] This procedure is reversible, is a less invasive procedure, and does not use hardware or staples. [74]

    laparoscopic surgery is equally effective and as safe as open surgery; patients should undergo comprehensive preoperative evaluation and have multi-disciplinary support for optimum outcome; In recent comparisons with sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass has shown slightly better outcomes in diabetes remission and weight maintenance.

  6. Jejunoileal bypass - Wikipedia

    As a consequence of all these complications, jejuno-ileal bypass is no longer a recommended bariatric surgical procedure. Indeed, the current recommendation for anyone who has undergone JIB, and still has the operation intact, is to strongly consider having it taken down and converted to one of the gastric restrictive procedures.

  7. Gastric dilatation volvulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_dilatation_volvulus

    Gastric dilatation volvulus (GDV), also known as gastric dilation, twisted stomach, or gastric torsion, is a medical condition that affects dogs and rarely cats and guinea pigs, [1] in which the stomach becomes overstretched and rotated by excessive gas content. The condition also involves compression of the diaphragm and caudal vena cavae.

  8. SADI-S surgery - Wikipedia

It is different from the classic duodenal switch, the gastric bypass (RNY) or sleeve gastrectomy.It is a type of bariatric surgery carried out to lose weight and to mitigate various metabolic issues including type 2 diabetes, dislipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and polycystic ovary syndrome.

  9. Laparoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laparoscopy

    Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive procedure, bandaid surgery, or keyhole surgery, is a modern surgical technique. There are a number of advantages to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus an exploratory laparotomy. These include reduced pain due to smaller incisions, reduced hemorrhaging, and shorter recovery time.
