Robotic Bariatric and GI Surgery

Hernia: Hernia is a condition in which a tissue or an organ pushes out or protrudes through a weak spot in the wall of the muscle. A hernia could be repaired using robotic surgery using smaller incision, clear and magnified view. Some of the other advantages of the procedure include –

•  Less pain after the surgery

•  Smaller scars compared to a single large scar

•  Ease of stitching the mesh or tissue inside the abdomen

Colorectal Surgery: Colorectal surgeries are performed to treat malignant or benign cancerous growth in colon or rectum. The advantages include - 

• Shorter hospital stays: Compared to patients undergoing open or laparoscopic surgery who stay in the hospital for about 5-10 days, with robotic surgery, the hospital stay is around 4 days.

• Clear and magnified view, stable endowrist instruments and firefly technology available with the robotic system help reduce chances of anastomotic leaks.

• Lower rates of complications and readmissions.

Bariatric surgery: Robotic bariatric surgery is a weight loss surgery performed using a robotic system. The surgery involves a few small incisions unlike single large incision in open bariatric surgery. This surgery offers shorter hospital stay and faster recovery to patients. Robotics can provide added precision while dealing with adhesions or scar tissues from prior operations (revisional surgeries). 

Robotics is used to perform:

• Adjustable gastric banding

• Sleeve gastrectomy

• Roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGB)

• Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch

• Revisional bariatric procedures (RBP)

Robotic Bariatric Surgery is the most recent innovation that has advantages like the additional range of motion, better precision and smaller incisions etc for a better quality of life.
