Sleeve gastrectomy is a weight-loss surgery that removes part of the stomach. It’s less invasive than some other bariatric surgeries. Patients typically experience improved weight management and health benefits.

Sleeve gastrectomy with hiatal hernia repair combines weight-loss surgery and hernia treatment. The procedure reduces stomach size and fixes the hernia. It limits food intake and resolves hernia-related discomfort. This dual approach enhances digestion and promotes weight loss.

Converting a gastric band to sleeve gastrectomy revises prior weight-loss surgery. This process removes the band and creates a smaller stomach. It boosts weight loss and lowers band-related complications. Sleeve gastrectomy provides steadier results and simpler upkeep. Patients often find better satiety and food tolerance.

Gastric bypass is a well-established bariatric surgery that reduces stomach size and reroutes the small intestine, enhancing weight loss by decreasing food intake and nutrient absorption. It’s highly effective for long-term obesity management.

A ventral hernia happens when tissue bulges through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. It’s commonly found near surgical incisions.

Cyst removal is a procedure to eliminate fluid-filled sacs from the body. It’s typically done through minor surgery. The process involves making a small incision to extract the cyst. Local anesthesia is often used, making it a low-pain procedure. Cyst removal prevents infection and relieves discomfort. It’s quick, with a short recovery time.

Diagnostic laparoscopy is a minimally invasive method to inspect abdominal organs. Small incisions allow a camera-tube, the laparoscope, to enter. It accurately diagnoses conditions like hernias or internal pain sources. This approach results in less pain and faster recovery than open surgery. Laparoscopy provides a detailed internal view, ensuring precise diagnoses.
