Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What are the benefits of robotic surgery?
I can perform complex procedures with enhanced 3D vision and greater precision than is possible with standard laparoscopy. For patients, this means smaller incisions, significantly less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a much quicker recovery.

2. What is bariatric (weight loss) surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a tool for individuals struggling with obesity and obesity-related health issues like type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Procedures like the sleeve gastrectomy work by reducing the size of the stomach, which helps you feel full with less food and leads to weight loss.

3. I have a hernia. Does it need to be repaired?
Hernias do not go away on their own and can become larger and more painful over time. The main reason for repair is to prevent a serious complication where tissue becomes trapped in the hernia (incarceration or strangulation).

4. What are the common signs of a gallbladder problem?
The most common symptoms are pain in the upper right abdomen, especially after eating fatty or greasy foods, nausea, vomiting, and bloating. If you experience these symptoms, an evaluation is important.
