Single port surgery allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures through a single incision exclusively in the belly button.
Because of the full range of motion provided by special instruments, the surgeon is able to reach around internal structures or go into spaces where access limited. Single port surgery does not change the procedure itself, yet it is a groundbreaking approach that has the potential to reduce post-operative pain, speed recovery and improve cosmetic results.
Single Port Gastric Band Procedure
The Bosc Surgeons have pioneered an innovative approach that allows for the entire Gastric Band procedure to be performed exclusively through the patient’s belly button.
The Bosc specialist instruments eliminate an upper abdominal trocar placement that is often a site for significant patient discomfort.
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 we are also able to significantly improve cosmetic results for our patients.
The Bosc Surgeons can now use instruments for single port gastric band procedures to be done safely and effectively through one single incision, Offering patients a path to less pain and scarring which is clearly a patient advantage.
