First-ever ESG Hands-on Training Course in India

First-ever ESG Hands-on Training Course in India

February 6, 2020

A first-ever ESG hands-on training course was organized by Enliten at Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics center located in Indore, from 22nd to 24th January 2020. It was a three days course and 30 surgeons from around the world actively participated in it. The training to them was given by Dr. Mohit Bhandari, Dr. Amit Maydeo and Dr. Mathias A. Fobi.

What is ESG?

ESG (Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty) was introduced first time in India by Dr. Mohit Bhandari in 2017. It utilizes an endoscope (a tube with a camera appended which is inserted orally down a patient’s throat) rather than making incisions to perform the surgery. ESG works by dividing the stomach into a gradually emptying upper part and a normally working lower part. This reduces the gastric volume of the stomach by up to 70–80% as well as alter the way that the stomach functions. ESG avoids the removal of the stomach. Often patients can leave the hospital on the same day after the completion of the ESG procedure. Dr. Mohit Bhandari has performed 200+ procedures until now.

This workshop was organized with an objective to spread the knowledge of this new technique and to help the fraternity grow in the new dimensions. It was first of its kind course and all the surgeons liked the teaching methodology and hands-on experience. The way Dr. Mohit Bhandari and Dr. Amit Maydeo introduced the equipment, explained their usage and solved the queries related to intricacies involved in the surgery was commendable. The surgeons (trainees) received hands-on training in dry lab and watched live surgeries, observing and grasping all the minutiae details. The surgeons got to know about the issues that can arise during live surgery. Certificates were also given to all the surgeons who participated in this esteemed workshop.

Dr. Mohit Bhandari aims to take ESG procedure to the next level worldwide. If you too want to join hands-on course in ESG, drop your information and we will connect with you when the next workshop is announced. Visit – getenliten.com/contact-us

Health Conditions That Are Directly Related to Obesity

January 20, 2020

Obesity is not only related to weight gain, but it invites other diseases too. There are some of the health conditions that come directly linked with obesity like type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, heart disease and others.

  • Type-2 diabetes

Obesity alters the way in which our body uses insulin to control blood-sugar levels. The fat cells become more resistant to insulin which is released from pancreas. More and more weight makes the body resistant to its own hormone- insulin which is needed to control sugar level.

  • Osteoarthritis

Obesity increases the pressure that is put on various joints of the body while doing any activity. An overweight person forces more stress on his joints like knees, hands, feet, or spine. Around 30 million people worldwide suffers from osteoarthritis and are unable to walk properly due to excessive pain.

  • Heart stroke and diseases

An obese person risks the danger of having high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. Obese people require more blood to supply the nutrients and oxygen in various parts of their body, leading to high blood pressure.

  • Sleep apnea

People who have obesity suffer from sleep apnea, which is a dangerous condition. In Sleep Apnea person’s breathing stops repeatedly while sleeping. The most common signs of sleep apnea incudes loud snoring, headache, insomnia, and irritation.

  • Gynecological problems

Obesity has a profound impact on reproductive capabilities of women. Irregularity in periods, fertility issues, urinary incontinence, etc. It alters the reproductive cycle in women and is also the reason for erectile dysfunction in men.

ESG and weight-loss

People who are suffering from obesity, are prone to have co-morbidities. Timely treatment of obesity can help them in preventing the above mentioned diseases. The technological advancement in endoscopic procedures has made it possible to reduce weight to a great extent without having incisions. ESG is an endoscopic procedure through which a person can reduce up to 20 percent of the current weight. In this procedure, an endoscope is inserted through the mouth to the stomach, and sutures are done on the stomach. ESG limits the capacity of the stomach which makes a person to feel full faster. An exercise regimen and proper protein diet is needed after the procedure in order to maintain the weight loss.
