There are two methods which a surgeon can pursue in bypass surgery gastric procedures. One is to make a large incision in the stomach area and handle the stomach and intestines directly. The surgeon will create a smaller pouch of the stomach and remove sections of the small intestines so that they may be bypassed. The other method is to perform a laparoscopic operation. This method involves using a small camera that can view the stomach area via a video monitor. The surgeon makes several small incisions in the belly area to insert the laparoscope and use fine surgical instruments.
