Operations made with the help of Da Vinci Surgical System are also defined as “Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery”. With the Da Vinci system, the specialist has the chance to intervene to the patient with smaller incisions. Since operations made with robotic surgery are carried out with very small incisions, the aesthetic results are much better. Side effects such as haemorrhages and leakages which lengthen the hospitalization of the patient can be reduced. The most important post-operative problem on obesity patients is the formation of a leak. It is shown that robotic surgery reduces the rate of leakages considerably in comparison to laparoscopic surgeries. More ergonomic tools, better imaging with 3-D view and more sensitive operation abilities are counted among robotic surgery’s advantages. By using the very small tools of the robotic system, the surgeon can navigate through the abdomen of the patient while protecting organ linings and intestines. Anatomical connections and anastomoses (connecting intestines together) can be performed with greater safety.
Obesity Operation Methods with Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery ensured that operations where part of intestines are bypassed, which are among the hardest operations of bariatric surgery can be made easily, delivering better results.
Advantages of Performing Robotic Assisted Obesity Surgery
Who Can Benefit from Robotic Surgery?
Everybody who is recommended to undergo a weight control surgery by a general surgeon is a candidate of robotic assisted obesity operations.
