Types of Bariatric Surgery Available in Paldi Area
Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar offers the complete spectrum of bariatric procedures to Paldi residents, utilizing both advanced robotic technology and proven laparoscopic techniques:
1. Robotic Sleeve Gastrectomy
The most popular bariatric procedure, performed using the da Vinci robotic system. This advanced technique removes approximately 75-80% of the stomach, creating a sleeve-shaped pouch that significantly reduces food intake and hunger hormones.
2. Robotic Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)
A highly effective procedure that combines stomach reduction with intestinal rerouting, leading to both restrictive and malabsorptive weight loss. Ideal for patients with diabetes and severe obesity.
3. Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band
A reversible procedure involving placement of an adjustable band around the upper stomach, creating a small pouch that limits food intake.
4. Robotic Duodenal Switch
The most complex bariatric procedure, combining sleeve gastrectomy with significant intestinal rerouting, offering maximum weight loss for super-obese patients.
5. Revision Bariatric Surgery
Specialized procedures to revise or convert previous bariatric surgeries that may have been unsuccessful or developed complications.
