The essence of a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is to make the stomach smaller and making a small pouch on the top of the stomach. The small stomach is then linked to the middle porting of the small intestine, there by bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine.
The procedure is carried out by making a large incision in the abdomen or a small incision with smaller instruments and with the use of a camera to direct the surgery.
