In Austin, Robotic-Assisted Procedures Are Leading the Way

Robotic-assisted surgery allows surgeons greater precision and control over their tools.

As a result, patients have shorter recovery times, less pain, and smaller incisions compared to traditional surgery. B+A Surgeons, Dr. Basa and Dr Abando, perform the majority of bariatric and general surgeries using the robotic da Vinci Surgical System.

Da Vinci Robotic Bariatric Surgery

If 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 our surgeons to provide the gold standard treatment, using only a few small incisions.

The B+A Process

B+A Surgeons use the da Vinci surgical system for many of our bariatric, hernia, colon, and gallbladder procedures in Austin. At your first appointment, our providers will get to know you, your concerns, and your medical history. If we determine surgery is necessary, we’ll discuss your treatment options in detail, including your candidacy for a robotic-assisted procedure.

Surgery is a big decision. Our compassionate providers are here to help you through it.

The Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Weight Loss Surgery

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

An Improved Patient Experience

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

More Effective Treatment

A 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.

Reduced Risk

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.

  • I have no words for this review. Dr. Basa saved my life and I am forever grateful. I was on the fence at first but now I realized this was the best decision I ever made…

    I have no words for this review. Dr. Basa saved my life and I am forever grateful. I was on the fence at first but now I realized this was the best decision I ever made. The office and doctors are very friendly and care about their patients. I almost went somewhere else before coming here and you were just a number there not to mention the doctor does not even live or work in the area (he was from Dallas). They have a fool proof plan that is easy to follow and offer their own products (protein powders, vitamins, etc) which makes it easier to obtain and keep track. All health issues have went away and I am my healthiest in years. I am now 80 pounds down and still going. I highly, highly recommend Dr Basa or Dr. Abando. Thank you both!!!

    Dr Abando is an excellent surgeon with amazing bedside manner. My first experience with him he literally saved my life. Each experience since has been wonderful. My older son sees him as well for abdominal issues and loves him just as much and I refer him to every friend I have needing some kind of abdominal surgery. His staff are kind and efficient. I highly suggest using him.
