Background:
The introduction of the robotic platform to bariatric surgery has brought forth a novel approach, with modifications to the standard laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGB). The purpose of this study was to match robotic gastric bypass (RGB) vs robotic sleeve gastrectomy (RSG) and compare them to those observed with the laparoscopic platform.
Methods:
A retrospective data collection of RSGs and RGBs from a single institution was performed. Groups were compared.
Results:
This study included 134 RSG and 165 RGB patients. RGB has a longer surgical time (p < 0.001) and a higher incidence of long-term complications (p = 0.005) but similar lengths of hospital stay (p = 0.093), rate of perioperative complications (p = 0.487) and EWL% at 1 year of follow-up compared to RSG.
Conclusions:
RSGs had shorter surgical times and a lower incidence of long-term complications when compared with RGBs. These results appear to be similar to those studies reporting the laparoscopic approach. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
