Cerclage gastrique ajustable par laparoscopie : Il consiste à mettre en place sous anesthésie générale un anneau gonflable autour de l'estomac, relié par un cathéter à un réservoir sous-cutané (permettant d'actionner un resserrage post-opératoire ou inversement). Cette technique ne requiert ni agrafage, ni anastomose digestive, d'où la simplicité du geste et une réversibilité totale. L'abord par voie laparoscopique évite une grande incision de l'abdomen (et donc le risque d'abcès ou d'éventration). 2, record 1, French, - cerclage%20gastrique%20ajustable%20par%20laparoscopie

Bariatric surgery, which is also known as weight-loss surgery, aids weight loss and reduces the risks of obesity-related diseases. The surgery falls into two categories : Malabsorptive weight-loss surgery, and restrictive weight-loss surgery. Malabsorptive weight-loss surgery limits the amount of nutrients your body absorbs, while restrictive weight-loss surgery restricts the amount of food you can consume. 5, record 2, English, - bariatric%20surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of weight-loss surgery.... This surgery is also known as sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy(VSG). Gastric sleeve surgery restricts your food intake, which leads to weight loss.... Most of the left part of the stomach is removed. The remaining stomach is then a narrow tube called a sleeve. Food empties out of the bottom of the stomach into the small intestine the same way that it did before surgery. 1, record 4, English, - gastric%20sleeve%20surgery

Gastric bypass is one common type of weight-loss surgery. During bypass surgery, the top of the stomach is changed into a small gastric pouch. A loop of your small intestine is cut, and one end of the loop is brought up and is connected to the gastric pouch. This connection is one anastomosis. The other end of the small intestine loop is reconnected to the small intestine, further down. This is another anastomosis. Food is then redirected to an area farther down in your digestive system. It bypasses the stomach. Because food will now bypass your stomach, your body does not absorb as many calories. 4, record 5, English, - Roux%2Den%2DY%20gastric%20bypass

Le court-circuit gastrique associe une restriction gastrique (réduction du volume fonctionnel de l'estomac par agrafage de ses parois) et la création d'un abouchement (anastomose) entre cette poche gastrique et une anse jéjunale, excluant ainsi l'intestin proximal (duodénum et début du jéjunum). Les effets en sont une limitation de la prise alimentaire, due à la restriction gastrique, ainsi qu'une malabsorption intestinale, induite par la dérivation gastrojéjunale. 5, record 5, French, - court%2Dcircuit%20gastrique
