Understanding Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery:
Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery, also known as minimally invasive weight loss surgery, involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a laparoscope and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. The laparoscope provides high-definition images of the surgical area, allowing the surgeon to perform the procedure with precision and accuracy. This approach minimizes tissue trauma and leads to faster recovery times and reduced post-operative discomfort compared to traditional open surgery.
Indications for Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery:
Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery is recommended for individuals who:
Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher: Patients with severe obesity (morbid obesity) are potential candidates for bariatric surgery.
Have a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions: Individuals with obesity-related health issues such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or joint problems may also be considered for surgery.
Have unsuccessfully tried other weight loss methods: Bariatric surgery may be an option for patients who have attempted dieting, exercise, and lifestyle changes without achieving sustainable weight loss.
