It is performed under general anesthesia and with a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach (4-5 small incisions from 3 mm to 10 mm)
The intervention consists initially of a restrictive surgical procedure aimed at creating a small vertical gastric pocket, with a volume of about 60 ml, designed to accommodate the food and no longer communicating with the rest of the stomach, which however is left in place.
The second half of the operation, involves the union (anastomosis) between the gastric pocket and the small intestine, “jumping” (by-passing), however, a stretch of about 180 cm measured from the duodenum.
The intervention is characterized by the possibility of total reversibility to the original anatomical conditions.
The mini gastric by-pass has two differences compared to the classic bypass: the creation of a long gastric tank and the packaging of a single anastomosis between the sectioned stomach and the intestine.
Like the gastric by-pass, the stomach and duodenum are also completely excluded from the transit of food in the gastric mini-pass.
The mini gastric by-pass causes a drop in body weight with the mechanism of reducing the quantity of food introduced.
The passage of food that has just been chewed, but not digested, in a section of the intestine that was not used to receiving it in this form, determines a stimulation that generates a sense of early satiety of varying degrees.
