A small pouch is created along the inner curve of the stomach and a segment of the small intestine is attached to the pouch to allow food to bypass a portion of the intestine. This results in reduced calorie and nutrition absorption. It is a restrictive and malabsorptive procedure. Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeons have performed over 6,000 Bariatric Procedures in NJ.

New Single Site Gastric Bypass Surgery NJ

Single Site Gastric Bypass Surgery, also known as Stealth Gastric Bypass, allows the surgeon to complete all steps of traditional Gastric Bypass procedure in a more minimally invasive fashion. The main difference between Stealth Gastric Bypass and conventional Gastric Bypass is the number and size of small incisions created in abdominal wall for inserting surgical instruments and a laparoscope. Instead of traditional five (5) incisions, Stealth approach utilizes three (3) incisions. One instrument and a laparoscope are inserted through a single incision above umbilicus. Two other instruments are inserted through 3mm incisions, creating minimal defect in abdominal wall. 

Stealth Gastric Bypass can be completed in less than 90 minutes. The technique has several advantages for patients. It results in significantly less post operative discomfort and pain at incision sites. Additionally, by reducing the number and size of incision sites, it allows for significantly improved cosmetic results and a faster return to normal activity.
