Laparoscopic Surgery/ Minimal Access is a surgical procedure that uses small (keyhole) incisions instead of big cuts. The laparoscopic surgeon inserts a telescope with a video camera into this incision and operates while viewing the interior parts on a TV monitor. A big incision is required for the surgeon to see directly into the patient during traditional open surgery. In limited access surgery, the video camera effectively serves as a surgeon's eyes since the surgeon uses the image from the video camera installed inside the patient's body to complete the process. Laparoscopy refers to the use of a telescope to operate on the abdomen.
This Laparoscopy/ minimum-access surgery aids in patients' early recovery because they are usually able to walk around within a few hours of surgery and resume their normal activities quickly. Laparoscopic surgery causes less pain and has good cosmetic results. In comparison to traditional open surgery, patients who have laparoscopic or minimum access surgery experience less discomfort, scarring, and a faster recovery period. Laparoscopy/ Minimal access surgery can effectively treat thyroid and parathyroid disorders, hernias, appendices, anorectal illnesses, gastrointestinal tract ailments, gall bladder stones, and some clinical conditions involving the pancreas, adrenal glands, spleen, kidneys, and liver.

Gastric bypass and other types of weight-loss surgery, commonly known as bariatric or metabolic surgery, entail modifying your digestive system to help you lose weight. Because of your weight, if you are facing serious issues and diet and exercise both do not work then bariatric surgery is a good option. Some weight-loss techniques restrict how much you can consume. Others act by decreasing the body's ability to absorb fat and calories. Some procedures do both. While bariatric surgery has many advantages, all types of weight loss surgery are serious procedures with risks and adverse effects. To ensure the long-term effectiveness of bariatric surgery, you must also make permanent, healthy dietary adjustments and engage in regular exercise.
Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS)
Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) is a less common weight-loss treatment. It has two main steps:
The first step is a sleeve gastrectomy, which removes around 80% of the stomach, leaving a smaller, tube-shaped stomach resembling a banana. The valve that releases food into the small intestine (the pyloric valve) remains, as does a short part of the small intestine that ordinarily links to the stomach (duodenum).
The second step connects the intestine's end to the duodenum near the stomach, bypassing the majority of it. BPD/DS restricts the amount of food you can eat while also reducing nutrient absorption, particularly proteins and fats.
Gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y)
Gastric bypass is one of the most popular types of bariatric surgery. Gastric bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a form of weight-loss surgery in which a tiny pouch is produced from the stomach and connected directly to the small intestine. Following gastric bypass, swallowed food enters this little pouch of the stomach and then directly into the small intestine, skipping the majority of your stomach and the first section of your small intestine.
Gastric bypass is regarded as the gold standard in bariatric surgery.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery/Sleeve Gastrectomy
This operation entails removing 80% of the stomach. The remaining stomach is regarded as a "sleeve" because it resembles a banana or a shirt sleeve. Weight reduction happens as a result of the new stomach pouch, which limits food intake. Because a considerable portion of the stomach is removed, this therapy is irreversible, and the remnant stomach pouch may grow with overeating in the long run.
Why Bariatric Is Performed?
Bariatric surgery is performed to assist you in losing excess weight and lowering your risk of potentially fatal weight-related health conditions, such as:
Certain malignancies, such as breast, endometrial, and prostate cancer,
Heart illness and strokes.
High blood pressure.
High cholesterol levels.
NAFLD, also known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Sleep Apnea.
Type 2 diabetes.
Benefits You Receive After Bariatric Surgery
Gastric bypass and other bariatric operations can lead to long-term weight loss. The amount of weight you lose depends on the type of surgery you get and the change in your lifestyle. It's possible to shed half, if not more, of your excess weight in two years.
In addition to weight loss, gastric bypass surgery may alleviate or resolve diseases commonly associated with being overweight, including:
Elevated blood pressure.
High cholesterol level.
Sleep apnea.
Diabetes Type 2.
NAFLD is also known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Osteoarthritis causes pain in the joints.
Psoriasis and acanthosis nigricans are two skin disorders that cause dark staining in body folds and wrinkles.
Gastric bypass surgery can also increase your ability to undertake ordinary everyday activities, potentially increasing your quality of life.
Who is eligible for bariatric surgery?
Overall, bariatric surgery may be a possibility for you if:
Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or greater, indicating excessive obesity.
Your BMI ranges from 35 to 39.9, indicating obesity, and you have a major weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or severe sleep apnea.
You may be eligible for certain forms of weight-loss surgery if your BMI is 30 to 34 and you have major weight-related health concerns.
Bariatric surgery is not for everyone who is extremely obese. To be eligible for weight-loss surgery, you may need to follow specific medical standards. To determine your eligibility, you will most likely go through a thorough screening process.
Laparoscopic surgery, often referred to as keyhole surgery or minimal access surgery, is a modern surgical technique that uses small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) to insert a laparoscope—a thin, lighted tube with a high-resolution camera and a system of lenses. This allows the surgeon to see inside the body and perform surgery with specialized instruments. Unlike traditional open surgery, which requires large incisions, laparoscopic surgery is less invasive, resulting in less pain, faster recovery, and fewer complications.
The benefits of laparoscopic surgery include:
