Qualifications

Victor Nieto Barros works at the clinic as a General and Digestive Surgeon with a defined specialization in thyroid surgery. The clinic describes thyroid surgery as a procedure where correctly identifying and preserving the parathyroid glands is critical, because these glands regulate calcium levels. To reduce the risk of postoperative hypocalcemia, his team uses PTeye autofluorescence detection technology with a special probe that recognizes the parathyroid signal and helps distinguish it from thyroid tissue and lymph nodes. Beyond thyroid care, the clinic also attributes to him bariatric revision surgery expertise, including conversion of a gastric sleeve to a gastric bypass performed with the Da Vinci robotic surgical system.
