Robotic roux-en-y gastric bypass procedure guide

Abstract

Purpose: This is a step-by-step procedural guide to help new and unexperienced surgeons with the implementa-tion of a robotic program for the surgical treatment of morbid obesity. Methods: Based on our vast robotic experience, we present our standardized technique and also, with a PubMed research, discuss the different surgical aspects. Results: We present our trainings pathway towards the first robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, a step-by-step procedural guide with helpful hints when it comes to trou-bleshooting and also discuss some surgical aspects. Conclusion: The robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is safe and feasible, and might offer some advantages in comparison to the laparoscopic approach.
