Emory Bariatrics Center
Our surgeons perform laparoscopic weight-loss surgery at the Emory Bariatric Center, one of the leading weight-management programs for treating obesity in the southeast and an accredited Level 1 Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence by the Bariatric Surgery Center Network of the American College of Surgeons. The center's multi-specialty team, which includes a bariatrician, psychologist, dietitians, surgeons, physician assistants, and exercise specialists, offers appropriate, customized weight loss plans that also include such non-surgical options as nutrition and exercise therapy, lifestyle education, and pharmacotherapy.
The center offers two free, informational seminars, one describing the Comprehensive Weight Management Program, the other explaining surgical options. To register, please call Emory HealthConnection at (404) 778-7777 or 1-800-75-EMORY (1-800-753-6679).

Emory Endosurgery Unit for Minimally Invasive Surgery
The Emory Endosurgery Unit is committed to advancing minimally invasive surgery through education, research, and surgical treatment with a focus on endoscopic and laparoscopic bariatric surgery, colon, and rectal surgery, gastroesophageal surgery, hernia surgery, and solid organ and endocrine surgery. The unit has cooperated with other Emory surgical programs to develop such techniques as live donor nephrectomy, laparoscopic management of polycystic kidney and liver disease, thoracoscopic sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis, and laparoscopic access for spine surgery.
Unit surgeons perform single incision laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer, gall bladder, and appendix operations, and such laparoscopic-assisted formal liver resections as right hemicolectomies involving extremely small incisions.
One of the unit's programs, The Emory Hernia Institute, is a referral/consultation center known for treating difficult hernia cases with laparoscopic ventral hernia and inguinal hernia repair. The institute has been involved in some of the world's most extensive multi-institutional studies of the techniques.

Emory Gastroesophageal Treatment Center
Using either laparoscopic, endoscopic, or open methods, the gastroesophageal center treats esophageal cancer, Barrett's esophagus, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Available procedures include esophagogastric myotomy, fundoplications, redo procedures for failed attempts at operative treatment, and such minimally invasive approaches for the diagnosis of GERD as catheterless/wireless esophageal pH testing. New innovations for the treatment of reflux and esophageal diseases are being evaluated and tested.
