Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric Surgery, a specialized branch of surgical medicine, focuses on the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders. It involves various surgical procedures aimed at promoting weight loss by altering the digestive system’s anatomy or physiology. Bariatric surgery is typically recommended for individuals with severe obesity who have not achieved weight loss through diet and exercise alone and are at risk of obesity-related health complications such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
At Srinivasa Hospital, the Bariatric Surgery service is committed to providing comprehensive care for patients struggling with obesity. Led by a team of experienced bariatric surgeons, the department offers a range of surgical interventions tailored to
each patient’s specific needs and health goals. These interventions may include gastric bypass surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding, or newer minimally invasive procedures like gastric balloon placement or gastric plication.
The service at Srinivasa Hospital adopts a multidisciplinary approach to bariatric care, involving collaboration among bariatric surgeons, dietitians, endocrinologists, psychologists, and other specialists. This collaborative effort ensures that patients receive comprehensive pre-operative evaluation, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing support throughout their weight loss journey.
State-of-the-art facilities and advanced technology, including laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgical techniques, enable bariatric surgeons at Srinivasa Hospital to perform procedures with precision and safety. Minimally invasive approaches are preferred whenever possible, as they often result in shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and reduced risk of complications for patients.
Research and education are integral components of the Bariatric Surgery service at Srinivasa Hospital. The department actively participates in clinical research and quality improvement initiatives aimed at advancing the field of bariatric surgery and improving patient outcomes. Additionally, educational programs and support groups are offered to patients to help them navigate lifestyle changes, adhere to post-operative guidelines, and achieve long-term success after surgery.
