25.01.2022 We love when bariatric surgery is in the news! Check out this great snippet from ABC radio’s Health Report explaining how bariatric surgery can improve your life expectancy.

25.01.2022 Check out this video where our surgeon, Mr Chris Hensman, demonstrates the use of the da Vinci Xi surgical robot https://youtu.be/wcCgmJzuIyg . Robotic surgery is a relative new innovation in surgery. It provides surgeons with an ability to conduct surgery safely and effectively with good outcomes. The main benefits are: - The superior 3D high-definition vision which allows the surgeon to see better. - An improved capability to manoeuvre into tight spaces that are challenging... in traditional keyhole surgery . Our surgeons have been extensively trained both here and in the US to use the da Vinci Xi surgical system for selected operations. Watch the video to see an introduction to Robotic surgery. . To find out if robotic surgery is right for you, speak to your surgeon at your next appointment. . . . #advancesinsurgery #davincisurgeons #roboticsurgery #wls #rnygastricbypass #vsg #vsgsurgery #sleevesurgery #surgeonsmelbourne #davincixi #davincixirobot See more

20.01.2022 At LapSurgery Australia we are passionate about embracing the newest technologies to help our patients. This is why our surgeons now offer surgeries using the da Vinci Xi surgical system. This system helps enable surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery with an advanced set of instruments and a 3D high-definition view of the surgical area. . The system has three components: . SURGEON CONSOLE... The surgeon console is positioned outside the sterile field, where the surgeon sits and controls the instruments with natural dexterity while viewing the surgical anatomy in a stable, high-definition 3D image. You can see our surgeon Ray using this in the image. . PATIENT CART The patient cart is positioned alongside the bed (in the sterile field), and is ‘docked’ to the patient. The patient cart holds the camera and instruments that the surgeon controls from the console. . VISION CART The vision cart makes communication between the components possible, and supports the 3D high-definition vision system. . Ask your surgeon if you qualify for robotic surgery. . . . #roboticsurgery #davincisurgery #davincixi #advancesinmedicine #healthcare #surgicalexcellence #wls #rny #vsg #weightlosssurgeon #rnysurgery #vsgsurgery #surgeon #surgeonmelbourne See more

12.01.2022 At LapSurgery Australia we perform each of the major types of weight loss surgery, the sleeve gastrectomy and the gastric bypass. Studies comparing the two procedures over five-year time frames show very similar degrees of weight loss. However, patients with Type 2 diabetes and those with gastric reflux have better results with the gastric bypass. Your surgeon and their team will discuss the choice of operation with you thoroughly, and in the end, we present the facts, and you make the decision on which surgery suits you best. . . . #sleevegastrectomy #sleevesurgery #vsg #sleeveorbypass #gastricbypass #rnygastricbypass #bypasssurgery #rnysurgery #vsgsurgery #wls #wlschoices #wlstips #rnytips #vsgtips #surgeon #surgeonmelbourne #surgeryoptions #surgicaloptions
