Bariatric surgery

The Weight Loss Surgery Center at KCM is among very few in Europe where surgeons provide operations under the control of the Olympus technology 3D-visualization system. The system ensures a high-quality image so a doctor can quickly and accurately perform laparoscopic surgery through several small punctures.

Comprehensive Weight Loss Program

The program includes:

• the operation under 3D-visualization control — sleeve resection and mini gastric bypass surgery. Sleeve resection is the removal of a part of the stomach and the formation of a smaller volume organ from the remaining tissue. Mini gastric bypass is a reduction of the stomach in volume and its connection with the intestines.
• comprehensive preliminary diagnosis.
• transfer from the airport by car.
• hotel accommodation.
• individual weight loss plan for 7 weeks and weight maintenance program for 5 years.

Every six months, the clinic hosts the conference "Recent laparoscopic methods in bariatric surgery," where KCM doctors share knowledge with foreign colleagues.
