Types of Operations
Three types of surgeries are performed at NYU Medical Center using a minimally invasive technique called laparoscopy.
The type of surgery that is performed is based upon your body-mass-index (BMI), your eating habits, and other issues, after a full discussion with your surgeon. These operations have different advantages and disadvantages, but usually have similar side-effects due to the physiology of weight-loss. The majority of surgeries performed at NYU Medical Center use a minimally invasive technique called laparoscopy.
