Surgeries for Morbid Obesity

Obesity has become a global epidemic, with serious public health and economic consequences. Initially, developed countries were more afflicted, but poorer countries are increasingly contributing to the epidemic.

Obesity has been found to be associated with a higher risk of death due to metabolic syndrome issues and increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). Insulin resistance, type II diabetes mellitus, systemic hypertension, and hyperlipidemia are all metabolic syndrome-related. Whereas Obesity, Hypoventilation, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Stress Urine Incontinence, Pseudotumor Cerebri, and Venous Insufficiency are all related to increased abdominal pressure. Sleep Apnea and Degenerative Joint Disease are caused by central obesity. Obese people are also more likely to get malignancies of the endometrium, colon, renal cell, breast, and prostate.

Every year, more laparoscopic bariatric surgeries are performed than open procedures worldwide. Compared to open surgery, laparoscopy reduces surgical intervention by lowering the size of the surgical incision and operative trauma from abdominal wall retractors and mechanical retraction of the abdominal viscera. We at Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals understand these details and incorporate Laparoscopic surgeries wherever possible. Other advantages of the laparoscopic procedure include less postoperative pain, a lower rate of wound-related problems, a lower frequency of postoperative incisional hernia, and a speedier recovery.

Some Laparoscopic Surgical Procedures performed at RKCH are enlisted below.

• Sleeve Gastrectomy

• Gastroplasty

• Combined Malabsorptive & Restrictive Procedures

• Gastric Bypass Surgery
