Services
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric Sleeve surgery reduces stomach size by 80%, creating a sleeve-shaped pouch. This procedure limits food intake while maintaining normal digestive function. Patients experience significant weight loss and improvement in obesity-related conditions like diabetes and hypertension. The irreversible procedure requires lifelong dietary and lifestyle changes for optimal results.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric Bypass creates a small stomach pouch connected directly to the small intestine. This dual-mechanism procedure restricts food intake and reduces calorie absorption. Patients typically lose 60-80% of excess weight within 18 months. The surgery offers excellent long-term results for severe obesity and metabolic disorders.
Hernia Repair
Minimally invasive hernia repair uses small incisions and specialized tools to reinforce weakened abdominal walls. The procedure treats inguinal, ventral, and hiatal hernias with reduced pain and faster recovery. Patients typically resume normal activities within 2-4 weeks post-surgery.
Gastric Balloon
Gastric Balloon involves placing an inflatable device in the stomach to create fullness. This temporary, non-surgical option aids weight loss for patients with lower BMI. The balloon remains for 6 months, combined with lifestyle counseling for sustainable results.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery enhances precision through advanced imaging and instrument control. The technology enables complex procedures with smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and improved outcomes. Surgeons maintain full control while benefiting from enhanced visualization and dexterity.
