Revisional Bariatric Surgery In Delhi

Revision bariatric surgery is recommended for altering, modifying, or repairing a previous unsuccessful weight-loss surgery. This procedure has become increasingly common because of the unsatisfactory outcomes of an earlier weight-loss procedure that incluincludedonic diarrhoea

  • Malabsorption of the nutrients

  • Inadequate weight-loss

  • Excessive weight-loss

  • Weight gain.

Depending on the type of surgery you had previously, the revision surgery is planned. For example, a person may have undergone laparoscopic gastric banding, which involves placing an adjustable silicone ring around the stomach to restrict the food intake. Over time the silicon ring can expand and slip off. In such cases, sleeve gastrectomy (a part of the stomach is removed) or a gastric bypass (the stomach is divided into 2 parts and the smaller part is connected to the intestine) is considered. 

An x-ray of your stomach and oesophagus is evaluated before the procedure. A thorough physical and medical investigation is conducted to rule out obesity-related complications. The revision procedures are usually laparoscopically-assisted which allows, a clear and magnified view of the stomach, tiny incisions, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stay, speedy recovery, etc.  

Post-surgery, you will be able to walk on the same day or the next day, and you will be able to return to work in a week.  Visible weight-loss changes can be noticed within a couple of weeks.  However, even after the surgery, it is imperative to exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The benefits of using robots in surgery include:

  • The robot provides a better, clearer, and magnified vision with a sharp 3D view

  • With smaller incisions, you will have fewer visible scars, a low risk of infection, shorter hospital stays and speedy recovery

  • With its lobster-like claw grip, robotic surgery gives a wider range of motion.
