• Bariatric surgery- It is a procedure that surgeons at Assuta adopt for removing fat cells in obese patients. Obesity is a condition where hormonal imbalance or any genetic mutation leads to the accumulation of fat cells in the body. It becomes very difficult for patients to control their weight. The surgeons perform this procedure through two different methods depending on the patient’s body requirement. One method is through gastric bypass, and the other is through the gastric sleeve. At Assuta, the surgeons perform the surgery through the laparoscopic incision to minimize the blood loss. During the procedure, the surgeons cut down the stomach partially, which helps in controlling body weight. The procedure usually takes 90 minutes and is not painful. The post-recovery period of the treatment is usually one month. The intervention rate is higher.
