Bariatric Surgery
Introduction
Common bariatric surgeries include gastric bypass and gastric banding. These procedures achieve weight loss by altering the structure or capacity of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby reducing food intake or absorption. These surgeries are mainly indicated for severely obese patients, especially those who cannot effectively control their weight through diet and exercise.
Why Choose China
Experienced Doctors
As early as 1982, Chinese doctors began exploring surgical weight loss. According to the “China Obesity Metabolic Surgery Database: 2023 Annual Report,” the number of bariatric surgeries nationwide reached over 37,000 in 2023.
Advanced Technologies
China has now entered an era of minimally invasive bariatric surgeries for treating obesity and related metabolic diseases. Public data shows that there are currently seven common types of bariatric surgeries, with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic gastric bypass being classified as minimally invasive. Minimally invasive techniques represent the current direction of bariatric surgery development. Technological innovations continue to enhance patient comfort, with the application of endoscopic technology, surgical robots, and other minimally invasive techniques helping patients recover quickly.
