Gianni Segato : Consultant Obesity Surgeon, Manchester
Dr Segato has performed more than 2,500 obesity surgery procedures and is widely regarded as one of the most experienced bariatric (obesity) surgeons in Europe.
Dr Segato qualified in medicine at the University of Padova, Italy. He subsequently underwent both general and specialist surgical training and developed a special interest in laparoscopic obesity surgery. He currently works at the surgical department of Vicenza Regional Hospital, the Obesity Centre at the University of Padova and is a visiting surgeon at the Alexandra Hospital in Manchester.
Dr Segato’s interests in obesity surgery include laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, laparoscopic gastric bypass (all variations) and a new procedure called the Bandinaro, a combination of gastric band and gastric bypass. Along with Dr Favretti he has one of the largest series of patients with the new telemetric gastric band, the EasyBand®. This band uses sophisticated electronics to open or close the band, without the need for an access port, thus eliminating the risk of access port infection and avoiding the use of needles for gastric band adjustments.
