BACKGROUND AND AIM: Morbid obesity is associated with poorer postoperative outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. We aimed to evaluate short-term outcomes after robotic versus conventional laparoscopic CRC resection in morbidly obese patients.
In this article, we focus on the important role of robot-assisted coronary surgery by reporting the successful case of a morbidly obese male (body mass index = 58 kg/m) who presented to our center with severe coronary disease. A 54-year-old morbidly ...
PURPOSE: The utilization rate of robotic surgery for bariatric procedures is not well-described. Our study identified the proportion of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) procedures in the United States between 2015 and 2020 performed using a robo...
There is controversy over the possible advantages of the robotic technology in revisional bariatric surgery. The aim of this study is to report the experience of a high-volume bariatric center on revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with robot-assiste...
Metabolic and bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for the management of obesity and related comorbidities. Although the duodenal switch has demonstrated superior results in terms of resolution of obesity-related comorbidities and weight loss,...
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the robot surgical system begins to be applied in single-anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S). However, only a few studies with very small sample size are present on robotic SADI-S.
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted sleeve gastrectomy (RSG) is an increasingly common approach to sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Staple line reinforcement (SLR) is well-discussed in laparoscopic SG literature, but not RSG- likely due to the absence of dedicated ro...
INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) represents more than half of all bariatric procedures in the USA, and robot-assisted sleeve gastrectomy (RSG) is becoming increasingly common. There is a paucity of evidence regarding postoperative ...

It is unknown if surgeons are more likely to adopt or abandon robotic techniques given that bariatric procedures are already performed by surgeons with advanced laparoscopic skills. We used a statewide bariatric-specific data registry to evaluate s...
BACKGROUND: Up to 37% of class three obesity patients have a Hiatal Hernia (HH). Most of the existent HHs get repaired at the time of bariatric surgery. Although the robotic platform might offer potential technical advantages over traditional laparos...
