Abstract
BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery is the only effective treatment for the long-term maintenance of significant weight loss. Minimally invasive revisional procedures are on the rise. Data is lacking in terms of safety, feasibility and outcomes with robotic revisional procedures. METHODS: Robotic revisional bariatric procedures (RRBPs) of gastric band to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, revision of gastro-jejunal anastomosis and stricturoplasty performed during 2009-2013 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: RRBPs were performed on 14 patients with mean age, pre-operative body mass index (BMI) and weight of 45.2 ± 11.4 years, 40.1 ± 8.7 kg/m2 and 109.4 ± 26 kg, respectively. The mean operative time, estimated blood loss and length of hospital stay were 220.6 ± 64.3) min, 31 ± 22.7 ml and 3.3 ± 1.5 days, respectively. There were no conversions, blood transfusions, gastrointestinal leaks, intraoperative complications or mortalities. CONCLUSION: RRBP can be performed safely without increased morbidity and with the added benefit of a minimally invasive approach.
