Carolina Baz

About

Dr. Carolina Baz is a pioneering bariatric and minimally invasive surgeon whose research focuses on revisional bariatric surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and the surgical management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and neuroendocrine tumors. Her major contributions center on advancing the safety and efficacy of complex redo procedures, particularly through the use of robotic platforms. In her highly cited 2022 paper, "Current Status of Robot-Assisted Revisional Bariatric Surgery" (20 citations), she systematically evaluated outcomes for patients requiring secondary interventions after failed primary bariatric surgery, demonstrating that robotic assistance can reduce complications and improve recovery. She also reported the world’s first two cases of robotic single-port anti-reflux surgery (12 citations), establishing a novel, less invasive approach for GERD treatment. Her work at a MBSAQIP-accredited high-volume center (9 citations) further validated the safety of minimally invasive revisional bariatric surgery. With additional contributions on robotic redo Heller myotomy and recurrent pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in MEN1 patients, Dr. Baz is shaping the future of robotic reoperative surgery, offering new hope for patients with complex surgical histories.
