In the researchers' words
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.
