MIB Surgeryでの大腸切除術

MIB Surgery is a private specialty clinic founded in 2019. It is based in Plantation, Florida, and has a second location in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The clinic focuses on minimally invasive and bariatric surgery. Two board-certified specialists work together to provide both surgical and medical care.

Surgical Expertise and Certifications

Dr. Abel Bello is a board-certified general surgeon who leads the surgical department. He specializes in advanced laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures. Dr. Monica Bello is an internist board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine. She completed her residency at the Cleveland Clinic's Akron General Medical Center in Ohio. Because the clinic combines surgery with medical obesity care, patients get support for long-term health.

Weight Management and Bariatric Care

The clinic offers both surgical and non-surgical weight-loss options. Surgeons perform gastric sleeve and gastric bypass to treat excess weight and metabolic conditions. These surgeries may help control type 2 diabetes, sometimes to the point of remission. Each patient follows a structured plan with lab work and regular check-ins.

For patients who want to avoid surgery, MIB Surgery offers the DUO Procedure. This endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is done through the mouth, so there are no external incisions. It makes the stomach smaller, which helps patients eat less. Medical weight-loss options include supervised treatment with Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.

• Gastric sleeve and bypass surgery
• DUO Procedure (non-surgical endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty)
• Gastric balloon placement
• Medically supervised weight management

Every patient gets a thorough evaluation to find what may be slowing their weight loss.

Reflux and Esophageal Treatments

Specialists treat chronic acid reflux (GERD) and Barrett's esophagus with personalized care plans. Treatment starts with diagnostic tests and lifestyle changes. If medications don't help, the team performs anti-reflux surgery. Options include the LINX procedure and Stretta therapy for eligible patients.

Another option for reflux is TIF (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication). Surgeons guide a specialized endoscopic device through the mouth to repair the valve. Since there are no external incisions, healing is faster. The team treats swallowing difficulties too, including achalasia and deglutition disorders.

General and Robotic Surgery

Surgeons treat a range of abdominal conditions through small incisions. This includes laparoscopic gallbladder surgery for stones and painful attacks. The clinic performs laparoscopic colectomy for conditions of the colon and rectum. Most patients who have large bowel resection recover fully and quickly return to their usual activities.

Hernia repair is one of the clinic's core strengths. Specialists treat several types of hernias:

• Inguinal (groin) hernias
• Umbilical (belly button) hernias
• Incisional hernias from previous surgeries
• Hiatal hernias related to severe reflux

For recurring hernias or wounds that haven't healed, the team performs abdominal wall reconstruction. This surgery restores strength to weakened abdominal tissue.

Advanced Surgical Technology

Surgeons use the da Vinci Surgical System for eligible minimally invasive cases. This robotic platform gives high precision during complex abdominal procedures. As a result, patients have less scarring and an easier recovery. Depending on individual needs, many patients go home the same day.

Services for International Patients

The team works with patients in both English and Spanish. Dr. Abel Bello offers virtual consultations for patients who can't visit in person. After surgery, patients get standard discharge instructions and recovery manuals to use at home. Care is coordinated between the Florida and Dominican Republic locations, so treatment continues without gaps.
