Australian experience with robot-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with comparison to a conventional laparoscopic series.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery is a novel approach to abdominal surgery. In Australia, the uptake of robotic assistance for bariatric surgery has been relatively slow compared to many other countries. The aim of this study is to report the first high vo...

A Comparison of Clinical Outcomes Between Two Different Models of Surgical Robots in Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
For the past 20 years, robotic surgical systems have been used for the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.) has been one of the most used robotic platforms. This study aims to retrospectively compa...

Using the Super Learner algorithm to predict risk of 30-day readmission after bariatric surgery in the United States.

Surgery
BACKGROUND: Risk prediction models that estimate patient probabilities of adverse events are commonly deployed in bariatric surgery. The objective was to validate a machine learning (Super Learner) prediction model of 30-day readmission after bariatr...

Optimizing Robotic Hysterectomy for the Patient Who Is Morbidly Obese with a Surgical Safety Pathway.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a growing worldwide epidemic, and patients classified as obese undergoing gynecologic robotic surgery are at increased risk for surgical complications. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of a surgica...

Robot-assisted kidney transplantation is a safe alternative approach for morbidly obese patients with end-stage renal disease.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Many centres deny obese patients with a body mass index (BMI) >35 access to kidney transplantation due to increased intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Emergent robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for perforated gastrojejunal ulcers: a retrospective cohort study of 44 patients.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Perforated gastrojejunal ulcers are a known complication following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery requiring emergent surgical repair. The robotic approach has not been evaluated for emergency general surgery.

Risk of Upper-body Adverse Events in Robot-assisted Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy for Benign Gynecologic Disease.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Recent studies suggest that prolonged Trendelenburg positioning during robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy (RA-TLH) may lead to fluid shifts and pulmonary, airway, head and neck, and cranial complications in the upper body...

Robotic "Double Loop" Roux-en-Y gastric bypass reduces the risk of postoperative internal hernias: a prospective observational study.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Internal herniation (IH) is a potentially serious complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence of IH after robot-assisted RYGB (RA-RYGB) performed with the "Double Loop...

Feasibility and safety of robot-assisted bariatric conversions and revisions.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Conversions and revisions after bariatric procedures are inevitable and associated with longer operative time and higher complication rates. Because robot-assisted procedures allow better dissection, robotic conversions and revisions may ...
