OverStitch Revision of RYGB

Traditionally, revision procedures are performed as open or laparoscopic surgeries. However, these techniques are accompanied by a complication rate that is three times the risk of undergoing the procedure for the first time. revisions are performed using the endoscopic technique. Having the procedure performed endoscopically eliminates the complications associated with open or laparoscopic surgery. It is an outpatient procedure performed using a camera the size of an index finger, along with a device that allows Dr. to suture down the size of the pouch and pouch outlet. This leads to a feeling of fullness that is similar in nature to that which the patient felt immediately after the original Gastric Bypass procedure.
