PROCEDURES BARIATRIC SURGERY
Revision Surgery
A second procedure planned where an earlier bariatric operation has not produced the expected result or a complication has developed. Endoscopy and imaging are carried out beforehand.
How we proceed
- 1
Assessing the current picture through a detailed history, physical examination and laboratory tests.
- 2
Reviewing the eligibility criteria for revision surgery together with the surgeon, endocrinologist, dietitian and psychologist.
- 3
If a decision is reached, setting out the preparation period, the procedure and the expected hospital stay in advance.
- 4
Follow-up after discharge with a nutrition plan and a defined schedule of review appointments across the first year.
Other procedures in this department
Sleeve Gastrectomy
A laparoscopic procedure in which part of the stomach is removed and the remainder shaped into a tube. The digestive tract stays continuous, so the effect on absorption is more limited than with bypass procedures.
Gastric Bypass
A small gastric pouch is created and part of the small intestine is bypassed. It is considered particularly where reflux or type 2 diabetes is part of the picture.
Mini Gastric Bypass
A single-anastomosis bypass with fewer connection points. The choice between procedures follows from eating patterns and accompanying conditions rather than from preference alone.
