Robotic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Procedure Guide

摘要

PURPOSE: This is a step-by-step procedural guide to help new and unexperienced surgeons with the implementation 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 troubleshooting 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.
