The Unique “Triple Lock Technique” in Bariatric Surgery
Our innovative “Triple Lock” technique ensures the highest safety and efficacy in gastric sleeve procedures. It includes:
1. Tri-Staple Technology: Utilizing Medtronic’s Tri-Staple technology for consistent, versatile stapling. This technique allows for consistent stapling and superior versatility across a range of tissue thickness, enhancing the safety and precision of the procedure :
Case study : A 35 years old woman with previous insertion of Gastric Balloon , might have super thickness of her gastric tissue after removal and require this technology.
2. Manual Reinforcement of Staple Line: Our surgeons manually reinforce the staple line, significantly reducing leakage risk and prevention dilatation of gastric pouch years later.
3. Tisseel Tissue Sealant: Application of Baxter’s Tisseel fibrin sealant adds an extra security layer.
Choosing us for Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Thailand means you benefit from our approach, which has led to a remarkable record: no incidents of leakage in our bariatric surgeries.
