Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

1. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure. In this procedure, the outer margin of the stomach is removed to restrict the food intake. This leaves a sleeve of the stomach, the size, and shape of a banana, and the muscles that control the emptying of food from the stomach to the small intestine. After laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, the patients feel full even after consuming less food and taking in fewer calories. In this surgery portion of the stomach is removed that produces the hormone responsible for feeling hungry. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is simpler than gastric bypass as it does not involve bypassing or reconnecting the intestines. It also does not require any banding device to be implanted in the stomach. Laparoscopic Adjustable Banding Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is done as a laparoscopic surgery in which small incisions are made in the upper abdomen. Then the surgeon places an adjustable band on the top part of the stomach, creating a small pouch. With this small pouch, the patient feels full after eating less amount of food and reduce weight. https://alsapakistan.com/articles/single-anastomosis-gastric-bypass-a-new-metabolic-surgical- procedure/ #LaproscopicSleeveGastrectomy, #LaproscopicSurgery
