Types of interventions carried out
Within the invasive methods of treatment of obesity provide the following procedures:
Adjustable gastric banding
An adjustable gastric banding (AGB) is used for more than twenty years. At present, most of the operations performed by minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. This means that it is not necessary extensive incision of the gastric wall.
How implanted cuff is circling and download the upper part of the stomach kind of "strip". Cuff narrows and divides the stomach into two parts in the shape of an hourglass. For the implanted cuff is not necessary to cut, clamp or remove any part of the stomach or intestine. This leads to two important facts:
- First, gastric banding is surgery to minimally disrupt the digestive tract. This avoids a number of undesirable side effects, which are often associated with other types of surgical interventions against obesity.
- Second, in exceptional cases where it is required reoperation, you can easily remove the cuff and restores the original shape and structure of the stomach.
Gastric sleeve offers the possibility of postoperative setting, ie. the diameter of the liner (narrowing of the stomach) can be set after the operation according to the requirements for optimum weight loss and by how patient benefits, via injection or removal of fluid from the strip through a small chamber located beneath the skin. This is done on an outpatient basis without anesthesia or analgesia administered.
