What type of surgery is performed laparoscopically?
Laparoscopy refers to the small camera that is used inside the abdomen to guide the operation rather than a large incision which guides the surgeons eyes around the abdominal cavity. We perform each of the operations for weight loss surgery laparoscopically. These include the Roux-en-y gastric bypass, laparoscopic adjustable banding, duodenal switch and the sleeve gastrectomy.
