Robotic Bariatric Surgery is a surgical procedure for weight loss surgery that is performed with the assistance of a robot, specifically the da Vinci system. Many people mistakenly believe that the robot does all the work without the surgeon's involvement. However, the surgeon uses the remote-controlled robotic arms to do all the work. The robot's arms are designed to mirror the motions of the surgeon's hands and are operated through remote control. In this article, we will discuss in detail about robotic bariatric surgery. What is the process of Robotic Bariatric Surgery? Robotic-assisted bariatric surgery begins with very small keyhole incisions in the abdominal area. The surgeon will make three small incisions where he or she will insert robotic instruments and a very sophisticated 3D high-definition camera. The surgeon will sit at a console while controlling the robotic arms. The surgeon will be using the following to control the robotic arms: Magnification, fac...
