Summary
Robotically assisted single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass-sleeve (SADI) is a viable staged bariatric procedure for high-risk patients. This minimally invasive technique offers potential advantages in dissection and anastomosis compared to laparoscopy.
Area of Science:
- Bariatric Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Robotic Surgery
Background:
- Staged bariatric procedures are common for morbidly obese patients.
- Further weight loss or comorbidity resolution may require secondary procedures after sleeve gastrectomy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present the technique for totally intracorporeal robotically assisted single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass-sleeve (SADI).
- To evaluate the advantages of robotic technology in anastomosis and dissection compared to standard laparoscopy for SADI.
- To discuss the safety, feasibility, and reproducibility of this robotic approach.
Main Methods:
- Totally intracorporeal robotically assisted SADI performed using a five-port technique.
- Inclusion of a liver retractor for optimal surgical access.
- Comparison of robotic approach outcomes with standard laparoscopic procedures.
Main Results:
- The robotic approach facilitates complex abdominal operations like SADI.
- Potential for improved anastomosis and dissection quality with robotic assistance.
- Demonstration of safety, feasibility, and reproducibility in a minimally invasive setting.
Conclusions:
- Robotically assisted SADI is a safe and feasible minimally invasive option for staged bariatric surgery.
- The robotic approach may offer benefits in surgical precision for SADI.
- This technique is reproducible for complex bariatric revisions.
