Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (Rygbp)
Gastric bypass surgery is often performed by laparoscope. Laparoscopic
procedures consist of multiple small incisions. Five to six incisions are
normally used in gastric bypass. An "open" procedure, which is used less
often, uses a single, long cut to provide the surgeon access to the
abdomen.

In a laparoscopic surgery, a camera is used to view the abdomen via the


incisions. Small instruments are then used to perform the surgery through
the multiple access points.

There are benefits to choosing laparoscopic surgery over an open


procedure. Laparoscopic procedures lead to fewer wound complications
such as risk of infection and patients usually experience less pain following
surgery.

Laparoscopy patients are also able to leave the hospital sooner and get
moving again more quickly than patients who've had an open procedure.
