Gastric Sleeve Surgery
The GASTRIC SLEEVE is a minimally invasive surgery through which the size of the stomach is reduced by up to 80%, which causes restriction in food intake and consequently weight loss, coupled with this the portion of the stomach that is removed, produces a hormone called ghrelin, which is one of those responsible for generating hunger, so by not producing it, it improves satiety. Recommended for people with a body mass index less than 40 or as a bridge therapy to subsequently perform another bariatric surgery, with an expected weight loss of between 30-40kg in a period of 6 months to 1 year.
Roux-en-Y Bypass Surgery
The Roux-en-Y Bypass, which is currently considered the Gold standard of Bariatric Surgery, is a minimally invasive surgery which consists of performing a reduction of the stomach called Gastric Pouch and subsequently a small intestine bypass through two anastomoses, reducing absorption of the ingested foods. It is considered a mixed procedure in which there is restriction of food intake coupled with decreased absorption. Recommended for patients with a body mass index of 40 to 50, with an expected weight loss of 40 to 60 kg over a period of 6 months to a year.
Mini Bypass Surgery
The MINIBYPASS is a surgery that’s by no means “mini” itself. It consists of a reduction in the size of the stomach and the performance of a single anastomosis, creating a small intestine bridge of approximately 2 meters, reducing the absorption of ingested food. By performing only one anastomosis, surgical time is reduced. Recommended for people with a body mass index greater than 50, with an expected weight loss of more than 50kg in a period of 6 months to a year.
Revision Surgery of Previous Bariatric Procedure
REVISION SURGERY consists, as its name suggests, of reviewing and modifying the previous bariatric procedure, generally after insufficient weight loss or weight regain, and can be converted from a sleeve to a bypass in any of its variants, or the distalization of the anastomoses of a bypass to give it greater power.
Abdominal Wall Hernia Surgery
ABDOMINAL HERNIAS are defects of the abdominal wall, which can occur de novo or after a surgical procedure, causing a migration of abdominal contents through that defect which causes pain, bulging and risk of imprisonment and abdominal complications. Abdominal plasty can be performed both openly and with minimal invasion by laparoscopy to correct defects and mesh placement.
Inguinal Hernia Surgery
Inguinal hernias are more common in men than women, because the inguinal region represents a weak point in the abdominal wall, which allows the structures of the abdominal content to pass through, causing pain, increased volume and risk of incarceration and abdominal complications. Its repair requires placement of prosthetic mesh and can be performed through open surgery or with minimal invasion through laparoscopy, which consists of making three small incisions less than one centimeter.
Antireflux Fundoplication Surgery
Antireflux surgery is indicated in patients who present gastroesophageal reflux that is accompanied by a hiatal hernia, which is a sliding of a part of the stomach through the diaphragm towards the thorax, causing symptoms such as reflux, heartburn, regurgitation, chronic cough, asthma, epigastric pain. The diagnosis is made through endoscopy. The surgery consists of performing an aplication of the gastric fundus on the esophagus to create a new valve effect and thus reduce reflux. It is performed through minimal invasion with 5 incisions smaller than one centimeter.
Gallbladder Surgery
Gallbladder surgery is indicated in patients with gallbladder stones, which cause abdominal pain, especially after high fat food. The risks of having gallbladder stones, in addition to causing pain, are: pancreatitis, obstruction of the bile outflow duct (choledocholithiasis), and perforation and necrosis of the gallbladder. The surgery is performed through minimally invasive laparoscopy, making three small incisions of less than one centimeter.
Cecal Appendix Surgery
Acute appendicitis is the main cause of abdominal emergency in the world and occurs due to an obstruction and subsequent inflammation of the cecal appendix, which is an organ attached to the large intestine. The main symptoms are abdominal pain, lack of appetite and fever. The surgery can be performed through open surgery or minimally invasive with laparoscopy, making three small incisions of less than one centimeter.
Abdominal Trauma Surgery
Abdominal trauma refers to blows or bruises to the abdomen after automobile or other accidents, penetrating abdominal trauma refers to any object that penetrates into the abdominal cavity, whether due to sharp objects, knives and even firearm projectiles, which represents a surgical emergency, which merits as such a surgery called exploratory laparotomy.
Emergency Surgery
There are various diseases that may or may not warrant emergency abdominal surgery and some of the main symptoms why people go to the emergency department are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or inability to evacuate. As well as due to car accidents or blunt or penetrating blows to the abdomen. For any situation that warrants an emergency review, we respond 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Mastectomy for male gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of the mammary gland in men and as such by definition means “woman’s breasts.” It is a very common condition among men that generates a decrease in self-esteem. This is generated by hormonal imbalances, obesity and overweight, use of some medications and alcohol abuse. The surgery consists of making an incision below the areola and extracting the mammary gland, giving the chest a more masculine appearance. It is performed using local anesthesia and sedation, lasting approximately two hours and on an outpatient basis, so you are discharged after completing the procedure, returning to your normal activities in 7 days.
