An increasing number of European residents faces issues resulting from excess weight. Just as example - according to the information published by World Health Organization, every fifth Lithuanian suffers from obesity, and Lithuania is number five in the list of EU countries with the highest number of obese residents. Obesity often causes a number of other health issues. Doctors sometimes suggest bariatric surgery as a solution for these issues. However, innovative and minimally invasive surgeries are becoming increasingly popular worldwide.
Vilnius, Lithuania -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/27/2017 -- Perhaps many have heard of the adjustable gastric band surgery, but, apparently, not many people know that this procedure is less and less frequently performed. According to N. Kaselis, the abdominal surgeon of Kardiolita Hospital, Lithuanian residents are more often recommended modern bariatric surgery.
"Such progressive countries as Finland completely gave up adjustable gastric band surgery due to their complications and inefficiency. Today, the world prefers new, advanced procedures – gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy orgastric plication, after which people can quite quickly get back to the full-fledged diet and lose 60-70% of excess weight in the course of two years. Such sugeries are performed once and for all, and 100% of patients are satisfied with the results" says N. Kaselis, the abdominal surgeon of Kardiolita Hospital.
Innovative weight loss surgeries are performed using a laparoscopic entry technique, i.e. through small incisions in the stomach wall. This method ensures minimal post-operative pain and the complete absence of post-surgical scars. The patient starts feeling well the next day and does not feel any discomfort.
