The laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a minimally invasive procedure which reduces the size of the stomach, by creating a fold (similar to a pocket) within the stomach’s top area. In order to fix this fold, the surgeon uses specially designed staples or a plastic band.

Afterwards, the stomach is connected to the small intestine’s median part, bypassing a large area of the former mass stomach, together with the first section of the intestine (duodenal area).

The procedure’s aim is, therefore, to reduce the stomach to the size of an egg, allowing the food to bypass a part of the small intestine. The fact that the food bowl avoids a portion of the intestine is beneficial to those who want to lose weight, as fewer calories are absorbed this way.

The laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass takes up to two hours to be performed and requires a two-day stay in the hospital. Also, the recovery is fast and the scars are minimal.
