Treatments &
Procedures

Sleeve Gastrectomy

This is a non-reversible laparoscopic surgical procedure in which a part of the stomach is removed and the size is brought down to 15-25% of its original size, making the stomach look like a tube or sleeve like structure and restricting the intake of food due to the reduced size.

Adjustable Gastric Banding

A laparoscopic surgical procedure through which an adjustable band is placed on the upper part of the stomach. This is minimally invasive and restricts the intake of food because of the smaller gap between the upper and lower parts making the one at top feel full faster while the flow of food to the lower section is slower.

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y Surgery)

In this procedure, the stomach is divided into two sections, a small upper pouch and a larger lower pouch, both of which is later connected directly to the small intestine through rearranging. This method bypasses a large portion of the digestive system making it possible to absorb minimal calories from the food. The surgery can be minimally invasive or can be done as open surgery as well.

Biliopancreatic Diversion

A type of bypass surgery in which a large section of the stomach is removed to create a small pouch which is then connected to the small intestine. It also facilitates the bile and pancreatic juices to mix together before they enter into the colon as well, bypassing even more of the small intestine than Gastric Bypass, ensuring calorie absorption remains the least possible.

Upper GI Endoscopy

This is a diagnostic procedure where an endoscope is inserted through the mouth so that the upper part of the gastro-intestinal tract to the beginning of the small intestine could be visualized.

Colonoscopy is a diagnostic endoscopic procedure that helps visualize the rectum, colon, and the tail end of the small intestine. In case of abnormalities, our team develops a treatment strategy that’s best suited for the patient.
