Laparoscopic Procedure Saves Patient from Obesity and Chronic Diseases
A specialized general surgery team at Alkafeel Hospital has successfully performed a gastric bypass procedure for a 42-year-old patient from Karbala suffering from morbid obesity.
Dr. Bashar Al-Rifaie stated that the patient’s obesity had led to several chronic health conditions, including hypertension and diabetes. He explained that the surgery represents one of the most effective solutions for the management of morbid obesity and its complications, as it significantly reduces body weight while helping to alleviate the symptoms of obesity-related chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
He further noted that the procedure was carried out laparoscopically, which minimized surgical intervention, ensured excellent outcomes, and facilitated a faster recovery. Dr. Al-Rifaie highlighted that Alkafeel Hospital provides advanced equipment and facilities that enable its medical teams to perform such precise and successful operations.
The specialist in general surgery confirmed that the operation was successful, the patient is in excellent health, and the hospital remains committed to delivering the highest level of specialized and safe healthcare in line with its vision.
