Bariatric and endoscopic services
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric sleeve is a highly effective surgical procedure for weight loss.
It involves reducing the size of the stomach by up to 80%, which significantly reduces the patient's appetite and the amount of food they can eat.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and using a laparoscopic (minimally invasive) technique, using endostaplers to section the stomach lengthwise, giving it a tube or "sleeve" shape.
It is a safe and long-lasting option for treating obesity with sustained medium- and long-term results.
Gastric Balloon
The gastric balloon is a soft, flexible, and durable device that is placed in the stomach endoscopy, without the need for surgery.
It is designed to take up space inside the stomach and create a feeling of satiety with less food, helping to reduce intake and promote weight loss.
It lasts 12 months and is a safe and effective alternative for patients with overweight or mild obesity seeking temporary treatment under medical supervision.
Gastric Corset
Gastric Corset or laparoscopic gastroplication is a minimally invasive procedure in which the stomach is reduced by 70% using special sutures, without the need to cut it, achieving an effect similar to that of a gastric sleeve.
It is ideal for people who need to lose between 10 and 29 kg.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass is an effective bariatric surgery for weight loss and the control of metabolic diseases.
It involves creating a small reservoir (sac) in the upper part of the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, which limits the amount of food and reduces calorie absorption.
This procedure is performed laparoscopically, using endostaplers to safely section and seal the tissue.
It is performed under general anesthesia and offers sustained results in patients with moderate to severe obesity.
Endoscopic Sleeve
Endoscopic sleeve lifting is a minimally invasive procedure for weight loss without surgery.
It consists of reducing the size of the stomach using internal sutures applied endoscopy, without external cuts or incisions.
This treatment helps reduce appetite and gastric capacity, generating a feeling of satiety with less food.
It is a safe, outpatient option for overweight or mildly obese patients seeking an effective alternative without resorting to major surgery.
Mini Bypass
Mini gastric bypass is a less invasive bariatric surgery than traditional bypass, with excellent weight loss results.
It is performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia and consists of reducing the size of the stomach by sectioning and stapling it, creating a new gastric reservoir that connects directly to the small intestine.
Unlike conventional bypass, mini bypass requires only one anastomosis (connection), which shortens surgical time and reduces the risk of complications.
It is an effective and safe option for patients with obesity and metabolic comorbidities.
Sasi Bypass
The SASI Bypass (Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass) is a modern bariatric procedure that combines two techniques: a gastric sleeve and a small intestine connection (intestinal bypass).
It is performed laparoscopically, under general anesthesia, and is designed to offer both restrictive and malabsorptive benefits.
This method is ideal for patients with morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes, as it significantly improves metabolic control and promotes sustained weight loss.
It is a safe, effective option with promising results in the comprehensive treatment of obesity.
Antireflux
Antireflux surgery is an effective treatment for people with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease who have not responded adequately to medication.
This procedure, performed laparoscopically, involves strengthening the lower esophageal sphincter to prevent stomach acid from passing into the esophagus, reducing symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain.
It is a safe option, with a rapid recovery, that significantly improves quality of life and prevents long-term complications.
Bariatric Endoscopy
Bariatric endoscopy is a non-surgical, minimally invasive alternative for the treatment of overweight and obesity.
An endoscopic procedure allows access to the stomach without incisions to perform techniques such as endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or gastric balloon placement, which help reduce gastric capacity and control appetite.
It is a safe, outpatient option with a rapid recovery, ideal for patients seeking to lose weight without surgery and with specialized medical support.
Hiatal hernia
Hiatal hernia repair is a surgical procedure that corrects the displacement of the stomach into the chest through the diaphragm.
This type of hernia can cause symptoms such as acid reflux, heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing.
The surgery is performed laparoscopically, which allows for a faster recovery with less discomfort.
It is an effective and long-lasting solution to improve quality of life and prevent complications such as chronic gastroesophageal reflux.
Diagnostic Endoscopy
Diagnostic endoscopy is a medical study that allows the interior of the digestive system to be viewed accurately and safely.
Through a thin tube with a camera (endoscope), the esophagus, stomach, and part of the small intestine are examined to detect diseases such as gastritis, ulcers, reflux, or suspicious lesions.
This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, with sedation and minimal discomfort for the patient. It is a key tool for the early diagnosis of gastrointestinal conditions.
Inguinal hernia
Inguinal hernia repair is a surgery that corrects the abnormal protrusion of tissue or intestine through the groin area.
This condition can cause discomfort and pain when exerting yourself or standing for long periods.
The procedure is performed laparoscopically, which allows for faster recovery, less pain, and a lower risk of complications.
It is a safe and definitive solution to resume your activities without limitations.
