Pacific Laparoscopy
Doctors & Clinics in San Francisco, CA
We started in 1979 with gastroplasty, a purely restrictive procedure. In 1984 we introduced a hybrid procedure combining moderate restriction of food with moderate malabsorption. A refinement, the Duodenal Switch (DS) has been our primary procedure since 1993. Our Laparoscopic techniques evolved directly from 10 years pioneering work in Laparoscopy and more than 26 years in bariatric surgery, including twelve years with the DS as our primary procedure. We developed and performed the 1st laparoscopic DS in 1999.
