  • The Stomach
CONT

A gastric band is a device placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch at the top. As there is less space for food in this pouch, the patient gets full quicker when eating, and so eats less.

Subject field(s)
  • Surgery
  • The Stomach
CONT

To do a gastric bypass, the surgeon makes a small pouch, called a gastric pouch, in the upper part of the stomach. The pouch is about the size of an egg or golf ball. The surgeon also separates the upper part of the small intestine from the middle part of the small intestine. The middle part of the small intestine is then attached to the gastric pouch. This directs food into the middle part of the small intestine, instead of the lower part of the stomach.

Record 4 2024-07-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgery
  • Digestive Tract
CONT

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie
  • Appareil digestif
CONT

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.
