Vytauras Kuzinkovas, MBBS, MD, MRCSEd, FRCSEd, FRACS, is a fellowship-trained, board-certified general / upper gastrointestinal surgeon treating bariatric surgery patients at Advanced Surgicare clinic in Sydney-New South Wales, Australia. Dr. Kuzinkovas has performed more than 5,000 laparoscopic surgeries as well as countless endoscopic procedures. He completed a postgraduate research fellowship in laparoscopic surgery and surgical immunology under the tutelage of Professor Markus Büchler, an internationally renowned upper-gastrointestinal and pancreatic surgery specialist. Dr. Kuzinkovas is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS), the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (FRCSEd) and the Royal Society of Medicine of Britain. The Surgical Review Corporation has certified Dr. Kuzinkovas as a Bariatric Surgeon of Excellence.

Dr. Kuzinkovas specializes in various types of laparoscopic bariatric surgery, including gastric banding surgery using the Lap-Band system, sleeve gastrectomy surgery and gastric bypass. He is also highly skilled in revision bariatric surgery, which is performed when the primary weight loss procedure has failed to generate the desired results. The Sydney weight loss surgeon utilizes the laparoscopic approach in a vast majority of cases. During a laparoscopic surgical procedure, Dr. Kuzinkovas creates several miniscule incisions in the abdominal area, through which he inserts a small tubular instrument with a lighted camera (laparoscope) on the end. The camera projects a video feed from inside the treatment area onto a high-resolution screen in the operating room, so the bariatric surgeon can monitor the procedure. Laparoscopic surgery is less invasive than the traditional “open” approach, as it requires much smaller incisions and puts fewer traumas on the body’s tissues. This generally allows for a quicker and easier recovery period.

Advanced Surgicare offers a comprehensive program to help patients achieve their weight loss goals and maintain their desired weight for life. The Advanced Surgicare program includes a comprehensive pre-operative patient examination, patient education, a structured postsurgical follow-up schedule, nutritional counseling by a dedicated dietician, an exercise program and psychological counseling, when necessary.
