Keyhole Gastric Surgery

These days, the days of highly invasive surgery are over. Surgical incisions are made in the belly to perform the procedure. Thankfully the whole process is done as keyhole surgery, with a laparoscope. This will enable the doctor to see the internal organs and undertake the surgery. The laparoscopic gastric bypass actually makes the hospitalisation and the recovery period shorter and quicker. There are still some open full gastric bypass surgery procedures performed, however, they are comminly wound-related problems with this kind of procedure. The laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure is undertaken under general asaesthetic. The surgery lasts for approximaely four hours. The gastic bypass patient is monitored for about two to six days following the surgery.
