Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective treatment for sustained weight loss and improvement of obesity-related comorbidities. Robotic BS (RBS) offers enhanced precision and ergonomics; however, local data remain limited. Methods: This retrospective real-world study included consecutive adults (≥18 years) who underwent single-surgeon robotic-assisted primary BS using the da Vinci® Surgical System (October 2012-December 2024), with complete perioperative and follow-up data. Results: were comparable, supporting the safety and feasibility of RBS in grade IV obesity. Conclusions: RBS proved safe, efficient, and effective, with low complications and consistent outcomes, supporting its use for obesity management in high-volume centers.
