Surgical Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a condition that occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. This condition is sometimes referred to as “insulin resistance.”

Left untreated, this resistance leads to raised blood glucose, or sugar levels, which can cause high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or impact organs and tissues, including the heart, kidneys and eyes.

Laparoscopic Procedures for Digestive Conditions

The gastrointestinal system includes all organs involved in digestion. Some gastrointestinal disorders may require surgical treatment to improve patients’ quality of life.

At Weill Cornell Medicine, our surgeons specialize in treating all gastrointestinal conditions using minimally invasive techniques, a type of surgery that benefits patients with reduced pain, bleeding and recovery time.
