Revision surgery
Had surgery somewhere else? We take care of patients from outside practices, including people who regained weight or have problems after an earlier operation.
Revisional bariatric surgery
Some patients regain weight, or develop symptoms after gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy or another weight loss operation. Dr. Talishinskiy reviews your records and history, then discusses whether revision surgery or another approach is the right choice.
Revision of reflux operations
Dr. Talishinskiy performs many fundoplications and hiatal hernia repairs, including revisions when reflux or swallowing problems return after an earlier operation.
Bringing your records
- Operative reports from your prior surgery
- Recent imaging or endoscopy results
- A list of current medications
Frequently asked questions
Why might I need revision surgery?
Reasons include weight regain, a complication, or symptoms that return after a bariatric or anti-reflux operation. Some problems can be treated without another operation, so the first step is a review of your history.
Do you see patients who had surgery at another hospital?
Yes. We take care of patients from outside practices. Bring your operative report and any recent imaging or endoscopy results.
Is revision surgery riskier than the first operation?
It can be more complex because of scar tissue and changed anatomy. That is why it helps to see a surgeon who does these operations regularly. We explain the specific risks for your case before you decide.
What revisions do you perform?
Revisional bariatric surgery, and revision of fundoplication and hiatal hernia repairs. Which is right for you depends on your anatomy and what is causing your symptoms.
