Description
Karim Ataya and five co-authors compare robotic and standard keyhole redo weight loss surgery in a 2023 review. Redo bariatric surgery is growing as patients face complications or regain weight, and robotic platforms are promoted for such complex work. The team pool eleven studies that cover tens of thousands of patients in both groups.
Leaks, bleeding, operating time, and hospital stay did not differ between the robotic and standard groups. The robotic group, though, had higher rates of conversion to open surgery, reoperation, and readmission. The authors conclude robotic assistance shows no clear advantage here and call for work on surgeon method and skill gaps.
