Comparative Analysis of da Vinci-Assisted and Laparoscopic Duodenal Switch Bariatric Surgical Procedures

A Comparative Analysis of da Vinci-Assisted and Laparoscopic Duodenal Switch (DS) Bariatric Surgical Procedures

To compare the safety and effectiveness of robotic-assisted Duodenal-Switch Bariatric Surgical Procedures (including Biliopancreatic Diversion-Duodenal-Switch/BPD-DS, Single Anastomosis- Duodeno Ileal Bypass with Sleeve/SADI-S, and One Anastomosis Duodenal Switch/OADS) with laparoscopic approaches using real world data (RWD) from the Premier Healthcare Database (PHD).
