Procedure Information
Bariatric Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy and Gastric Bypass)▼
While the lifestyle measures such as healthy eating and exercises are the best way to address the obesity problem and restore a healthy weight, for those with the BMI index over 35, it may not be enough. Providing all other treatments have failed, bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment of morbid obesity.
Anti-Reflux Surgery (Laparoscopic Fundoplication and Hiatal Hernia repair)▼
Surgical therapy is targeted towards correcting a hiatal hernia by replacing the stomach into the correct position within the abdomen. To strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter and prevent acid reflux, the surgeon can perform a procedure called fundoplication by wrapping the top part of the stomach (the fundus) around the lower part of the esophagus. Dr Mastakov will use laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, using very small incisions.
Hernia Repair Surgery▼
A hernia is an out pouching of tissue that occurs when the inner layers of abdominal muscles become weakened. This results in a visible small sac that may contain part of the intestine or other abdominal tissue. Hernias occur most commonly in the groin (inguinal hernia), the upper thigh (femoral hernia), the navel (umbilical hernia), at the midline (ventral hernia).
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)▼
Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the contour of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and, where needed, tightening stretched or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). It is a contouring procedure rather than a weight-loss operation, best for people whose weight is stable and who want to address lax skin, stubborn fat deposits, and muscle separation.
Bariatric Package with Same-Day Gastroscopy & Hiatus Hernia Repair▼
A bundled bariatric package that combines all the necessary procedures into one, including same-day gastroscopy and hiatus hernia repair, saving patients money and time.
