Surgeries

In obesity surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, several different types of operations can be distinguished.

Which procedure is most suitable for you is determined on the basis of your BMI, eating habits, associated diseases (comorbidity), psychological profile and the results of your examinations.

All bariatric procedures are performed by keyhole surgery (laparoscopically) or with the robot.

In keyhole surgery, the operation is carried out through small openings. This benefits recovery, scarring, post-operative pain and aesthetics.

Obesity Clinic Dendermonde is a pioneer and frontrunner in the field of robotic surgery in Europe. Surgeons from all over the world have since been trained here.

The great advantage of an operation with the robot is that even greater precision can be achieved. In addition, patients experience even less pain after the operation and can often go home sooner. During an operation with the robot, the procedure is still performed by the surgeon themselves. The major difference compared to keyhole surgery is that the instruments are now handled by the robot and controlled remotely by the surgeon.
