FAQs
Is Robotic Bariatric Surgery Better?

The benefits of robot-assisted bariatric surgery for surgeons include improved vision, increased clinical accuracy, and less tiredness. Patients also benefit from shorter recovery times and minimal to no scarring.

Is Robotic Bariatric Surgery Safe?

There are intrinsic advantages to robotic bariatric surgery; compared to traditional surgical techniques, this technology is often safe and successful.

Are robot-assisted surgery and laparoscopy the same?

No. Although both are minimally invasive procedures, laparoscopic procedures involve the surgeon working with tools and instruments in hand.

Whereas, in robot-assisted surgery, the surgeon gets to use a console and 3D monitor to control the robotic arms that perform the surgery, which offers greater flexibility and range of motion.

Robotic surgery is performed by a robot or surgeon?

The entire procedure is performed by a human using a robotic arm. This means the entire surgery is within the surgeon’s control. Sitting at a console in the operation theatre, the surgeon directs the robotic arms to carry out the procedure. A video camera records the surgery in real time, providing the surgeon with an enhanced view of the operating area.

Should robot-assisted surgery be avoided in case of complications?

No. While each case will depend on the patient’s condition and the body’s capacity to sustain a surgery, in complex, hard to reach, and delicate cases with greater complications surgeons prefer robotic-assisted surgery.

Compared to a human arm, robotic arms have a greater range of motion and flexibility, which guarantees excellent precision and reduces the possibility of mistakes.

Can any surgeon perform a robot-assisted surgery?

Robotic-assisted surgeries have a different set of tools and controls compared to other minimally invasive surgeries. They require specialized equipment and trained medical professionals. At the CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, we have a team of experienced and qualified robotic surgeons who do this with exceptionally good surgical outcomes.

Does Robot-assisted differ from Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery?

  • Laparoscopic surgery has the surgeon viewing inside the patient anatomy using a laparoscope. However, in robotic surgery the doctor views the anatomy in a magnified high definition 3D visualisation.
  • The robot’s instruments have a wider range of motion than laparoscopic equipment. This allows for precise placement and reduced arm and leg fatigue for the physician throughout the one to three-hour operation.
  • Unlike laparoscopy, robotic surgery ensures the surgeon can reach areas which might otherwise not be accessible for obese patients.
