Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Bariatric Surgery, Laparoscopic
A minimally invasive surgical procedure using a laparoscope to treat obesity. The procedure involves the creation of a small pouch from a portion of the stomach which is then attached to the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum) to promote weight loss.
Sleeve Gastrectomy Bariatric Surgery, Laparoscopic
A minimally invasive surgical procedure using a laparoscope to treat obesity. The procedure involves the removal of most of the stomach, leaving a thin vertical sleeve or tube in place of the normally-sized stomach. This restricts a patient's ability to eat the same volume of food as prior to the procedure and promotes weight loss.
