Single Port Lap Band


Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) is the latest revolution in minimally invasive weight loss surgery.  The SILS procedure that Dr. Jose Rodriguez, Dr. Elmo Aramburo, and the BeliteWeight team is undertaking demonstrate that fewer incisions are possible and represent a great step toward the ultimate goal of less invasive surgery.

The Lap-Band Adjustable Gastric Banding System (manufactured by Allergan Inc.) is a silicone band that is surgically placed to reduce the amount of food a patient can hold in his or her stomach. The band helps patients control food intake and supports long term, sustainable weight loss, it typically requires at least five abdominal incisions.
The Single Port laparoscopy is an advanced minimally invasive approach in which the surgeon operates exclusively through a single entry point, typically the patient’s belly button. After surgery, the scar is almost completely hidden inside the belly button.
This is a major step toward reducing pain and recovery time for bariatric surgery patients by reducing the operative site to one single incision in the belly button Dr. Rodriguez and Dr. Aramburo are significantly able improve cosmetic results for patients.
