Robotic LINX placement for gastroesophageal reflux disease shows no improvement in surgical outcomes compared to laparoscopic approaches. Robotic surgery leads to longer operative times and higher overall costs.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is the gold standard for GERD surgery.
  • Magnetic sphincter augmentation with the LINX device offers an alternative antireflux procedure.
  • The LINX device has proven safe and effective for surgical treatment of GERD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare robotic versus laparoscopic approaches for LINX device placement.
  • To evaluate surgical outcomes, patient characteristics, and cost differences between robotic and laparoscopic LINX procedures.
  • This is the first study to compare robotic and laparoscopic LINX placement.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 20 patients undergoing LINX placement with hiatal hernia repair.

  • Patients were divided equally between laparoscopic and robotic surgery groups.
  • Analysis included patient characteristics, surgical outcomes, and cost data.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in hospital stay, postoperative PPI use, or dysphagia.
    • Robotic surgery resulted in longer operative times (139 vs. 81 minutes).
    • Robotic procedures incurred higher intraoperative and overall hospital charges.

    Conclusions:

    • Robotic LINX placement does not offer superior surgical outcomes compared to the laparoscopic approach.
    • Robotic LINX procedures are associated with increased operative time and higher costs.
    • Laparoscopic approach remains a cost-effective option for LINX placement.
