Bariatric Surgery
The Section of Bariatric Surgery causes weight loss through gastric restriction, malabsorption or both. As well, these surgeries are metabolically active, causing improvement in obesity-related comorbidities including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea and more.
Most of these surgeries are performed using minimally-invasive techniques (laparoscopy), with the goal of minimizing complications in this higher-risk patient population.
Our Section performs a wide variety of procedures, including:
- Gastric Bypass
- Sleeve Gastrectomy
- Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch
- Revisional Bariatric Surgery
