da Vinci® Gastric Bypass

Download the da Vinci Gastric Bypass brochureIf your doctor recommends surgery to control your weight, you may be a candidate for da Vinci Gastric Bypass, potentially the most effective, least invasive option for weight loss surgery. da Vinci Gastric Bypass allows surgeons to provide the gold standard treatment, using only a few small incisions.

For most patients, da Vinci Gastric Bypass can offer numerous potential benefits over open abdominal surgery, including:

  • Significantly less pain
  • Less blood loss
  • Fewer Complications
  • Less scarring
  • A shorter hospital stay
  • And a faster return to normal daily activities.  

In addition, da Vinci Gastric Bypass offers the potential for better outcomes than with open or laparoscopic approaches. This is because da Vinci provides surgeons with superior visualization, dexterity, control, and ergonomics required for this technically demanding operation. da Vinci allows surgeons to operate on higher-BMI patients; it can result in shorter procedures times and may offer reduced risk for serious complications by providing surgeons with superior visualization and instrumentation.

While clinical studies support the effectiveness of the da Vinci® System when used in minimally invasive surgery, individual results may vary. Surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System may not be appropriate for every individual. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.
