Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Prospective Randomized Study.

Sleeve gastrectomy is the most commonly performed bariatric procedures. Robotic surgery seems to add more precision to the surgical interventions. However, robotic bariatric procedures appear to be burdened by longer operative time.

Aim of the investigators is to prospectively and randomly submit patients suffering from obesity to robotic or laparoscopic surgery in order to compare outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria:

• According to IFSO (International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity)/ASMBS (American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery) 2023 guidelines
