Robotic versus laparoscopic gastric bypass in bariatric surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis on perioperative outcomes

Robotic-assisted surgery has emerged as a compelling approach to bariatric surgery. However, current literature has not demonstrated superior outcomes to laparoscopic bariatric surgery consistently to justify its higher cost. With its mechanical advantages, the potential gains from the robotic surgical platform are likely to be apparent in more complex cases such as gastric bypass especially revisional cases.
