Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass

Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass

A mini gastric bypass creates a long narrow tube of the stomach along its right border (the lesser curvature). A loop of the small gut is brought up and hooked to this tube at about 1.5 to 2 metres from the start of the intestine. The mini-gastric bypass was developed to reduce operating time, simplify the procedure and reduce complications.
