3D Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
3D Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Procedure, Purpose, Duration & Recovery
Advanced minimally invasive weight-loss surgery for long-term health transformation
3D Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a highly effective, minimally invasive bariatric surgery designed to achieve significant and sustainable weight loss. The procedure reduces stomach size by nearly 70–80%, limiting food intake and decreasing hunger hormones to support long-term metabolic health.
70–80% stomach reduction • Less hunger • Faster recovery • Long-term metabolic improvement
Step-by-Step Procedure
Preoperative Assessment
- Detailed medical history & examination
- Blood tests for metabolic & nutritional status
- Upper GI endoscopy or imaging (if required)
- Cardiac & pulmonary evaluation
- Nutritional & psychological assessment
Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia with continuous monitoring of vital parameters.
Small Incisions
Four to five tiny incisions (0.5–1 cm) are made to insert the laparoscope and specialized instruments, ensuring minimal trauma and faster healing.
Insertion of 3D Laparoscope
A high-definition 3D camera provides magnified, three-dimensional visualization for superior precision and safety.
Stomach Reshaping (Sleeve Creation)
A large portion of the stomach is removed, and the remaining section is shaped into a narrow sleeve. This reduces food capacity and lowers hunger hormone levels (ghrelin).
Leak Test & Safety Check
A leak test ensures the newly formed sleeve is secure and safe before completion.
Closure
Incisions are closed using absorbable sutures or surgical glue, leaving minimal scarring.
