Comparison of FreeHand ® robot-assisted with human-assisted laparoscopic fundoplication.

Conclusion: Robot-assisted fundoplication is safe, feasible and reduces operative time. Furthermore, this negates need of assistant. Mean operative time for robot-assisted fundoplication was 36 min less than for conventional fundoplication. Advantages also include fewer adverse events, shorter length of stay and less post-operative clinic visits. PMID: 32501153 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
