Specialist in General and Visceral Surgery, POSE Procedure

Treatments

KEY EXPERTISE / PROCEDURES / TREATMENTS:
  • Specialized procedures such as incision-free gastric reduction (POSE)
  • Bariatric and metabolic surgery, including gastric banding, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and ASPIRE
  • Laparoscopic procedures for abdominal wall and inguinal hernias
  • Minimally invasive anti-reflux surgery


Description of the Incision-Free POSE Procedure

 

A new, less invasive surgical alternative is now available to assist with weight loss. If you have tried diet after diet without achieving the desired and necessary weight loss—whether for appearance or health reasons—you may be a candidate for the POSE procedure (Primary Obesity Surgery Endolumenal).

In this procedure, surgeons use advanced instruments to suture folds in the stomach, reducing its capacity. As a result, you feel full more quickly, experience less hunger, eat less, and feel satisfied sooner. The surgeon performs the procedure entirely through the mouth, similar to an endoscopy, without any external incisions.

Since there are no external incisions, the POSE procedure offers significant benefits, including:

  • Lower risk compared to traditional open or laparoscopic surgeries
  • Minimal postoperative pain
  • Rapid recovery
  • No scars

Some patients undergo the procedure on a Friday and return to work by Monday without bandages, pain, or anyone noticing the intervention. There is no need for others to know you had the procedure.

Weight loss is crucial for improving health and preventing obesity-related problems such as Type II diabetes, heart disease, joint disorders, and respiratory issues. If you have struggled with weight loss, consider whether the POSE procedure might be right for you.
