Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass

Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass is another form of Gastric Bypass. In this the Gastric pouch is like a long sleeve which is joined to the intestines, making a loop thereby finishing the procedure with only single anastomosis.

It has a theoretical advantage over RYGB. The results of excess weight loss and resolution of co morbidities is similar to that of RYGB. This procedure is primarily a malabsorptive procedure as compared to the classical RYGB.

Advantages:

• Shorter operating time
• Less re-routing of the intestines
• 75-85% of weight loss in 6-9 months
