Abstract
This study includes robotic bariatric surgery performed at a single tertiary care centre from 2015 to 2017. 56 cases of robotic bariatric surgery are compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery. Robotic surgery can be performed in all the patients who are planned to undergo laparoscopic surgery. Robotic bariatric arms have smooth movement during the surgery due to 270 degree rotation and no tremors. Robotic arms can lift and hold thick mesentery and bowels which are difficult for human hands due to excess omental and mesenteric fat. Chances of injury to tissues are nil during robotic surgery. Robotic surgery causes less physical stress to the surgeon and with experience it effectively reduces operative time also.
