Please join us as we welcome Dr. Sashi Ganta from Austin Bariatrics. Dr. Sashi Ganta is believed to have performed the first trans-umbilical LAP-BAND® procedure in the state of Texas on Tuesday, September 9, 2008 at Seton Northwest Hospital in Austin, Texas. Dr. Ganta pioneered this new technique, which involves complete navigation and placement of the LAP-BAND® via the belly button, thus eliminating the need for special instruments, and also leaving no visible scars on the abdomen.
According to Dr. Ganta, "With the emergence of new techniques such as SILS or single-incision laparoscopic surgery, individuals seeking gastric banding for obesity now can choose to not have any visible scarring. This new technique of Trans-umbilical Gastric banding (TUGB) allows patients to have significantly improved cosmetic results and possibly less pain and a faster recovery."
