Laparoscopic Revision of Prior Procedures
From time to time it is necessary to convert previously performed weight loss procedures to other weight loss procedures. Although this is only necessary in a few percentage of cases it is important to be associated with a program that has a broad experience in dealing with these complex cases. These conversions might be necessary for a variety of reasons:
- Complications from the prior procedure such as gastric outlet obstruction due to ulcer or stricture
- Band Slippage or erosion
- Inadequate weight loss or weight regain
We specialize in, and have a broad experience in laparoscopic conversion of:
- Vertical Band Gastroplasty (stomach stapling) to Gastric bypass or Vertical Sleeve Gastrcectomy
- Vertical sleeve gastrectomy to gastric bypass
- Gastric Bypass to doudenal Switch
- Revision of gastric bypass to revise the pouch or anastomosis
- Conversion of gastric banding to gastric bypass or vertical sleeve
- Endoscopic Revision of Gastric bypass pouch/stoma (ROSE procedure)
