Types of bariatric surgery
Revisional surgery, Dallas is an important component of addressing weight regain and
complications following primary bariatric surgery, Dallas. Owing to provincial need and
the complexity of this patient population, a specialized multidisciplinary revision clinic was developed.
During
the past two years, a number of new minimally invasive methods for revising bariatric
operations, Dallas laparoscopic ally have come onto the scene.
Although the risks associated with the new techniques are quite low,
preliminary weight loss results are similar to those of the operations
performed 20 years ago. A critique of these new approaches is found below.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is injection of a
glue-like substance via an endoscope in and around the stretched anastomosis to
make it smaller. Moreover, because the glue alters the tissue where it’s
injected, subsequent surgical revision is likely to be more hazardous.
Endoscopic/Endoluminal Suture Plication
This refers to the narrowing of the circumference/size of
the stretched anastomosis using either sutures or metal fasteners which are
placed through an endoscope.
Banding the Bypass
This is the placement of a laparoscopic
adjustable band above the stretched anastomosis/stoma. Subsequently,
this procedure functions like a primary LAP-BAND operation.
Selecting the Right Operation
Choosing the appropriate revisional procedure is probably
more important than selecting the first bariatric operation, Dallas. This is
because it’s crucial to know or ascertain why the first operation failed.
