The Bariatric surgery eliminates Type 2 diabetes in 75% of cases

Despite Italy present cases reduced obesity (in Europe is the country with lower incidence of obesity among adults), the phenomenon is still growing: the statistics tell us that cases of subjects in overweight conditions are on the rise, especially in the South and among the poorest segments of the population and less literate. Obesity can be operated laparoscopically using a new 3D technology. There speaks the expert in endocrinology and metabolic diseases
3D laparoscopic technique is used for obesity surgery (bariatric surgery), it reduces the time of intervention and recovery of patients. In 75% of cases, this technique allows to reduce obesity linked to type 2 diabetes.
3D laparoscopy in bariatric surgery
In recent years we are made of dell 'obesity surgery with an innovative technique that allows you to view the interior of the abdominal cavity in 3 dimensions. The operated patients were monitored during the pre-intervention period and following this operation just to analyze the results and improvements. According to these studies, the main cause of obesity is the trigger diabetes type 2, can be reduced in 75% of cases through a gastrectomy surgery (bariatric surgery gastroresettivo type). In the remaining cases, the diabetes control is done through the oral intake of drugs, eliminating thus the need to inject insulin.
Results from bariatric surgery
According to studies conducted in Spain, the average weight of most of the patients and hospitalized with laparoscopy 3D was 114 kg, with a BMI of 44 and an average age of 42.6 years; 12 months after the operation, the mean weight was 88 kg, ie reduced by 68%.
The future of bariatric surgery
In the field of bariatric surgery, laparoscopic 3D technology provides a significant surgical precision, reduces operating room time and patient recovery. This technique is the closest system to robotic surgery, distinguished, however, by cost (cheaper). Within a few years the laparoscopic technology is about to become the most widely used technique among industry professionals.
