Abstract
As the epidemic of obesity and related health issues continues to increase, the field of bariatric surgery has exploded. Almost all bariatric procedures are now performed with the assistance of minimally invasive techniques, and the adoption of robotics in this field continues to increase. We review the literature and data surrounding the application of robotics in adjustable gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy, roux-en-y gastric bypass, biliopancreatic diversion/duodenal switch, revisional bariatric surgery, and bariatric surgery in the pediatric population. In addition, we also discuss training and port placement and present several videos of robotic bariatric surgical procedures. As the literature on robotics in bariatric surgery continues to mature, the appropriate application of robotics in this field continues to evolve.
