As its name suggests, SILS is laparoscopic surgery performed through just one small incision. While SILS can be used successfully in a variety of surgeries, it is now becoming a very popular choice for patients who are looking to undergo bariatric surgery.
Single-incision laparoscopic surgery is an effective bariatric surgery technique and one that offers patients a variety of important benefits.
| Particulars | Open Surgery | Laparoscopic Surgery | Single Incision Lap. Surgery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Size of incision | Significantly big (8-10 cm) | 3-4 small incisions of 5-10 mm | Single incision around 1 cm |
| Hospitalization required | 5-6 days | 2-3 days | 1-2 days |
| Blood Loss | Significant | Less | Negligible |
| Scars | Unsightly | Short scars | Notably less scarring; aesthetically pleasing results |
| Chances of Infection | Frequent | Less | Less |
| Intensity of Pain | Severe | Moderate | Mild |
Good candidates for SILS are people who are obese and suffer from health problems that are related to obesity, such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. They should have attempted to lose weight through natural means in the last year or so but have experienced limited success. Patients need to be in good enough health to undergo a weight loss procedure without suffering an adverse health condition.
The procedure is done laparoscopically. A single incision is made on the abdomen to pass the instruments into the abdomen and remove the stomach tissue.
There is only one bariatric surgery scar near the patient's belly button resulting from this small incision.
It is a simple and short procedure that only requires a day's care. The patient suffers very little or almost no pain and has a very good recovery rate. Since the recovery is fast, the patient can resume normal activities and work soon. 1-2 days of the recovery period is needed after SILS.
SILS has excellent results. Patients who experienced SILS are happier in terms of cosmetic results, shorter hospital stay, and pain perception.
We at IndiCure completely understand your concerns and it is always our endeavor to provide the best outcome for every patient. Following is the list of questions you must ask before you embark on your journey for Single Incision Bariatric Surgery in India.
Prepare to answer questions about your:
Yes, Single Incision Bariatric Surgery is major surgery, however, it is usually very safe if performed by a well-trained and experienced bariatric surgeon at a well-equipped medical facility. The procedure involves lifestyle changes which include dietary and regime changes.
The procedure is done laparoscopically whereby 4-5 small incisions are given and thus has relatively shorter downtime than open surgery.
All surgeries have some degree of pain involved. You may experience moderate amounts of pain after a Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery, however, each patient has individual levels of pain tolerance. You may have some discomfort at the incision site or as a result of how your body was positioned during the procedure.
If your pain stops you from moving, let your doctor know. Oral drugs are used to treat pain, and they function best when taken regularly, maintaining a consistent amount of medication in the bloodstream keeps pain well under control.
Yes, though there is scarring after a Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery, however, the scars are quite small. Since Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery is performed laparoscopically, where tiny incisions in the range of 0.5-1.5cm are given, the scars also are very small.
Any Laparoscopic surgery has a faster recovery and relatively shorter downtime as compared to open surgery. Stay at the hospital after a Laparoscopic Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery is generally 2-3 days and most patients return to normal activities within 3 to 5 weeks.
Yes, Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery can be reversed, however, reversing it would necessitate a procedure of equal or even higher magnitude. It is a complex procedure not commonly performed.
Dumping syndrome, also known as Rapid gastric emptying, occurs when food, particularly sugar, passes too quickly from the stomach to the small intestine.
The common signs and symptoms of dumping syndrome include abdominal cramping and diarrhea. Most persons with dumping syndrome experience these symptoms 10 to 30 minutes after eating. Some people even have symptoms one to three hours after eating, while others experience both early and late effects.
Though not everyone, a large number of patients face dumping syndrome at some stage after a Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery. The signs and symptoms might be mild to modest. Poor eating choices are the most common cause of dumping and can be controlled by making dietary changes.
Modifying your diet after surgery can help prevent dumping syndrome. Taking smaller meals and a reduction in high-sugar foods are the most effective ways of avoiding dumping syndrome. The other measures that can be taken include avoiding liquids around 30 minutes before and after surgery, choosing complex carbohydrates over simple carbohydrates, having a high protein diet, etc.
You may need medicine or surgery if you have a more significant case of dumping syndrome.
Single Incision Bariatric Surgery is a very effective weight loss surgery procedure and gives excellent long-term results, however, a lot of it also depends on the patient's compliance, age, BMI, overall health, etc.
Statistics have suggested that most individuals lose weight quickly after surgery and continue to do so for another 18 to 24 months. Patients may lose 30 to 50 percent of their excess weight in the first six months after surgery, and 77-80% percent of their excess weight as early as 12 months.
Studies have also shown that individuals might sustain a 60-70% weight decrease 10 to 14 years following Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery. The other major benefits of Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery are the resolution of comorbid conditions like Diabetes, Hypertension, Respiratory problems, sleep apnea, etc.
