The laparoscopic gastric bypass of a single anastomosis (LGBSA) is a new gastric by-pass model that has some advantages over the conventional Y-de-Roux gastric by-pass, reducing the risk of some of its complications and providing good medium and long term weight loss results.
The LGBSA Technique (laparoscopic gastric bypass of a single anastomosis) is performed by laparoscopy (without abdominal opening) and we eliminate the "food loop" and therefore suppress the second union, without the need to section the intestine or the mesentery.
If you are interested in the LGBSA technique but have doubts, you can request your first free appointment, by video conference, from your place of residence at our clinic in Madrid.

When making a new, small and thin stomach (approximately 100 ml.) the patient only consumes a small amount of food as it increases the feeling of satiety. With the "bypass", food is not completely absorbed, which contributes to weight loss. It is a procedure with a metabolic effect, causing changes that help improve the "Metabolic Syndrome". This procedure has a very high success rate and also a very favourable effect on diabetic patients.
It is a technique with a single union between the stomach and the bowel, instead of the two unions required in gastric bypass. This fact reduces the time of the intervention and the risks, since only one anastomosis has to heal instead of two.
It requires fewer joints. Adequately controls metabolic diseases. Lower incidence of early complications. Lower incidence of intestinal obstruction due to internal hernias. Lower incidence of marginal ulcers.
In this technique the risk of bile reflux from the bowel to the stomach is present. For this reason, conventional gastric bypass continues to be used more frequently.
The surgeon has to indicate this technique to a patient if he consideres it, for this the patient should meet the following requirements:
- To have a BMI> 40 or to have a BMI> 35 and suffer from any of these diseases (cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, joint problems, reflux, etc.)
- To be between 18 to 60 years old.
- Don't have any contraindication for general anesthesia
