At Yupiter Hospital, we understand that managing obesity can be a challenging journey. Bariatric surgery, commonly known as weight loss surgery, offers a viable solution for individuals struggling with severe obesity. If you have tried various weight-loss strategies without success, your doctor may recommend surgery as an effective treatment option to help you achieve your health goals.
What is Robotic Bariatric Surgery?
Robotic bariatric surgery is a state-of-the-art approach that utilizes advanced technology to perform weight-loss surgeries with minimal incisions. This technique offers several advantages over traditional laparoscopic surgery, including enhanced precision, improved safety, and faster recovery times. With its intuitive multi-range tools and 3D vision, robotic surgery is particularly beneficial for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) exceeding 40, as it facilitates complex procedures that may be more difficult with standard laparoscopy.
The robotic bariatric surgery procedures we offer include:
- Gastric Bypass Surgery
- Gastric Sleeve Surgery
- Duodenal Switch Bypass Surgery
- Sleeve Gastrectomy
How Does the Robotic System Work?
Our robotic system incorporates advanced fourth-generation technology that enhances the traditional surgical approach. The key features of our robotic system include:
- Supervised Precision: Every procedure is performed under the guidance of an experienced surgeon.
- Enhanced Dexterity: The robotic arms provide remarkable precision in cutting and milling, ensuring maximum accuracy during surgery.
- Minimized Complications: The system helps reduce the likelihood of repeat surgeries by preventing complications.
Key Features of the Robotic System
Robotic bariatric surgery employs smaller incisions, allowing the robotic arms and instruments to operate with minimal disruption. The system features four robotic arms, including:
- Two arms operated by the surgeon
- A high-resolution 3D camera for improved visualization
- An optional arm to hold tissue in place
This setup enables the surgeon to see a panoramic view with precise depth and detail, while the robotic hands replicate hand movements with reduced tremors.
How is Robotic Bariatric Surgery Performed?
The procedure involves several key steps:
- Candidate Evaluation: Patients with a BMI of 40 or higher, or those with a BMI of 35 alongside related health issues such as diabetes or hypertension, are evaluated for robotic bariatric surgery.
- Planning: In-depth consultations with the surgeon ensure patients are well-informed about the procedure. Comprehensive assessments of the surgical area are conducted to create a tailored surgical plan.
- Execution:
- The patient is connected to the robotic system and prepared for surgery.
- Surgical ports are inserted to provide a 3D view for the surgeon.
- The surgeon operates the robotic arms from a console, with the AI system assisting in real-time.
This meticulous approach guarantees that each patient receives a well-planned and expertly executed surgery, promoting precision and a swift recovery.
Advantages of Robotic-Assisted Bariatric Surgery
Patients can benefit from robotic gastric bypass surgery in several ways, including:
- Shorter hospital stays
- Low incidence of gastrointestinal leaks
- Reduced need for follow-up surgeries
- Decreased likelihood of converting to open surgery
- Enhanced access to challenging areas of the body
Why Surgeons Prefer Robotic Surgeries
The robotic system represents the forefront of surgical technology, providing numerous advantages:
- The ability to perform surgery in constrained areas
