Robotic-Assisted Bariatric Surgery

At Baptist Hospital, we’re proud to offer robotic bariatric surgery using the advanced da Vinci surgical system — a breakthrough in minimally invasive care. This technology enhances precision, control and visualization, allowing our surgeons to perform complex procedures with smaller incisions and greater accuracy.

Procedures Performed:

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)

  • Reduces stomach size and reroutes the small intestine
  • Limits food intake and nutrient absorption
  • Often used for patients with severe obesity or related conditions like type 2 diabetes

Sleeve gastrectomy (gastric sleeve)

  • Removes ~80% of the stomach
  • Creates a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach to restrict food intake
  • Preserves normal digestion without intestinal rerouting

Revisional bariatric surgery

  • Corrects or modifies previous weight-loss surgeries
  • Addresses complications or insufficient weight loss
