Dr. Kuwada TV interview on Weight Loss Surgery using the "SILS" technique

Dr. Kuwada was interviewed regarding "SILS", a new approach to laparoscopic surgery.  "SILS" or Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery", is a newer method to perform laparoscopic surgery using only one working incision.  Typically, laparoscopic weight loss surgery requires 5-6 small incisions.  With the "SILS" technique, only one incision is required.  This incision is typically 1-2 inches in length.  Laparoscopic Gastric Banding procedures may be performed using this technique as well as select Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy cases.  Click on the link below to view:
