Stomach Stapling Surgery in India

Stomach Stapling Surgery

Stomach stapling, also called gastric stapling or vertical banded gastroplasty, is one type of restrictive surgery (the other being gastric banding) for the treatment of morbid or malignant obesity. The idea of this surgical procedure is to severely restrict the patient's capacity to eat foods, reduce calorie intake and induce significant weight reduction.

Instead the surgeon uses staples to create a small stomach pouch and a gastric band to limit the size of the opening (stoma) between the pouch and the rest of the stomach.
