Gastric Bypass Module

Risk-Free Training of Gastrojejunal Anostomosis and More

Provide your surgeons with the opportunity to perform advanced tasks including creation of the gastric pouch, measurement and division of the jejunum, gastrojejunal anastomosis and enteroenterostomy anastomosis. Trainees practice the technical aspects of laparoscopic Roux-en Y creation and jejunojejunostomy and gain an in-depth understanding of intra-operative problems during lap bypass surgery and how to avoid them. Familiarity with a variety of instruments is gained, while instructional movies enhance knowledge of the procedure.
