Pouya Iranmanesh et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2020 Apr.

Abstract

In this article, we review the role of robotics in bariatric surgery. After a brief overview of the evolution of minimally invasive bariatric surgery, we discuss possible advantages of robotic systems and subsequently go into more details about each procedure, including adjustable gastric bands, sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. We also discuss outcomes of robotics in reoperative bariatric surgery. Considerations about training are presented as well.

Keywords: Adjustable gastric band; Bariatric surgery; Revisional surgery; Robotic surgery; Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; Sleeve gastrectomy.
