3D Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass
Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass: Procedure, Purpose, Duration & Recovery
Overview
3D Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass (One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass – OAGB) is an advanced and highly effective weight-loss surgery designed for individuals struggling with severe obesity and obesity-related conditions.
A long narrow stomach pouch is created and connected directly to a loop of the small intestine. This reduces food intake and calorie absorption while improving hormonal balance.
Performed using high-definition 3D visualization and precision instruments, this minimally invasive surgery results in less pain, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery.
Step-by-Step Procedure
Preoperative Assessment
- Comprehensive medical history & examination
- Blood tests for metabolic & nutritional status
- Upper GI endoscopy (if required)
- Cardiac & pulmonary evaluation
- Nutritional & psychological assessment
Anesthesia
Performed under general anesthesia with continuous monitoring of vital parameters.
Small Incisions
4–5 small incisions (0.5–1 cm) are made to minimize pain and recovery time.
3D Laparoscope Insertion
High-definition 3D imaging ensures superior precision and safety.
Creation of Long Narrow Stomach Pouch
A narrow stomach pouch is created to limit food intake and promote early satiety.
Single Intestinal Connection
A loop of the small intestine is attached to the stomach pouch (single anastomosis).
Leak Test & Closure
