Live Better with Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery in Melbourne
The Mini Gastric Bypass surgery is a safe and effective procedure in a setting of primary or revisional bariatric surgery.
What is Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Also known as the Omega Loop Gastric Bypass. Mini gastric bypass surgery is very similar to the conventional gastric bypass operation. In some ways this can be referred to as a simplified variation of the traditional gastric bypass operation. Mini bypass has become increasingly popular over the last 5 years as both a primary option or an option for revision following a previous failed weight loss operation.
How does Mini Gastric Bypass in Melbourne differ from standard bypass?
This operation works by restricting the amount of food that can be eaten and by altering the gut hormones that are involved in appetite control. The main difference between the standard RNY gastric bypass and the mini gastric bypass (MGB) is highlighted in the 2 photos.
In the mini gastric bypass surgery , a long tube of stomach is fashioned then a loop of small bowel is joined to this tube approximately 150 cm from the point of commencement of small bowel.
