Conditions Treated

• Severe Obesity & Metabolic Syndrome: Offering life-changing bariatric interventions for patients suffering from clinically severe obesity and its associated comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes.
• Gallstones (Cholelithiasis): Treating painful gallstones that block bile ducts and cause severe abdominal discomfort, nausea, and digestive complications.
• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Addressing chronic acid reflux where stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the tube connecting the mouth and stomach, causing damage to the esophageal lining.
• Inguinal Hernias: Repairing painful protrusions in the groin area where tissue, such as part of the intestine, pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles.
• Hiatal Hernias: Treating conditions where the upper part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest cavity, often exacerbating severe GERD symptoms.
• Ventral and Incisional Hernias: Correcting hernias that occur along the midline of the abdomen or precisely at the site of a previous surgical incision due to weakened abdominal walls.

• Anti-Reflux Surgery: Reconstructive laparoscopic procedures designed to tighten the lower esophageal sphincter, providing long-term relief from chronic GERD.
