What is an Endoscopic Pouch Reduction?

New York Minimally Invasive Surgery offers an effective endoscopic procedure to reduce pouch and stoma size using a durable suturing device. This method is minimally invasive with low complication risks.

Patients follow a 10-day liquid diet and a 10-day puree diet after the procedure, committing to dietary changes for long-term success. Healthy eating and regular exercise are crucial for weight maintenance.

The procedure takes under an hour and requires general anesthesia. NYMIS assists with insurance submissions and has had success in approvals.

Overview

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has been performed since the 1960s, providing a wealth of historical data on patient outcomes. Over the past decade, extensive research has focused on improving the safety of the procedure, understanding complications, and examining mechanisms of weight regain.

While not all gastric bypass patients experience weight regain, those who do often struggle with persistent hunger and increased portion sizes. Incorporating low glycemic index foods into the diet can significantly alleviate hunger and help shed regained weight. However, a common issue is the loss of restriction, which allows patients to consume larger portions. This loss of restriction typically occurs because the connection between the stomach and intestine, known as the gastrojejunostomy or stoma, can widen over time. When this happens, food passes quickly from the pouch into the intestine, leading to larger portion sizes and diminishing the effectiveness of the bypass.
