Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass

Laparoscopic gastric bypass is a largely restrictive and mildly malabsorptive procedure that reroutes the passage of ingested food and fluid from a small pouch created with surgical staples or sutures in the proximal stomach to a segment of the proximal small bowel.

Possible equipment needed for the procedure includes a laparoscope, a camera, a fiberoptic light cord, and special long trocars and obturators.
