Services
Weight Loss Surgery
Surgical interventions for severe obesity include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and lap band procedures. These operations alter digestive system function to promote significant, sustained weight loss through restriction and/or malabsorption. Ideal candidates typically have BMI 40 or 35 with comorbidities, offering long-term solutions when other methods fail.
Hernia Repair
Specialized treatment for abdominal wall defects using open or minimally invasive techniques. Procedures address inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias through mesh reinforcement or tissue repair. Focus on preventing complications like strangulation while ensuring rapid recovery and reduced recurrence rates.
Medical Weight Management
Physician-supervised programs combining nutrition counseling, behavioral therapy, and medication management. Customized plans target gradual, sustainable weight reduction through metabolic optimization and lifestyle modification. Regular monitoring ensures safe progress toward individual health goals.
Reflux Surgery
Surgical correction of chronic acid reflux through fundoplication procedures. Laparoscopic techniques reinforce lower esophageal sphincter function to prevent stomach acid backflow. Addresses severe GERD symptoms unresponsive to medication, improving quality of life and reducing esophageal cancer risk.
Revisional Surgery
Corrective procedures for patients experiencing weight regain or complications after prior bariatric operations. Techniques include conversion to different surgical models or anatomical adjustments. Requires specialized expertise to optimize outcomes while managing increased surgical complexity.
