What is Robotic Bariatric Surgery?

La cirugía bariátrica robótica es un Robotic bariatric surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a robotic system, such as the Da Vinci, to perform surgical interventions aimed at treating severe obesity. Through small incisions, the surgeon controls the robotic system from a console, manipulating surgical instruments with great precision and flexibility.

This type of surgery allows for common weight-loss techniques, such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, but with superior precision thanks to the robot. It reduces the risk of complications, postoperative pain, recovery time, and scarring. Bariatric surgery may be an option if you have severe obesity and have not been able to lose weight or maintain weight loss through other methods, such as lifestyle treatment or medications. It can also be an option if you have serious health problems related to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes or sleep apnea. Bariatric surgery can improve many obesity-related medical conditions, especially type 2 diabetes.

Bariatric Surgery Procedures

Choosing a weight-loss treatment option is an important and responsible decision. Selecting the type of bariatric surgery that is right for you can be challenging. Our goal is to provide you with information about the different types of bariatric surgeries. This knowledge can help facilitate a discussion between you and your doctor to determine the most appropriate treatment for you. Proper follow-up and participation in a multidisciplinary program emphasizing lifestyle modification (dietary, behavioral, and exercise changes) will improve the chances of bariatric surgery patients maximizing weight loss and maintaining it for life. Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Bypass, and Revision Surgery are highly effective procedures tailored to the conditions of different patients. These surgeries can be performed using robotic techniques with the Da Vinci robot, offering an even less invasive, safer procedure with faster recovery compared to traditional laparoscopic techniques. Learn more about the types of traditional bariatric surgery that can now be performed using robotic techniques with Dr. Nuñez through the following options.

Benefits of Robotic Bariatric Surgery

Within two to three years after the operation, bariatric surgery typically results in a weight loss of 10 to 35 percent of total body weight, depending on the chosen procedure. People considering bariatric surgery should discuss their personal expectations for excess weight loss with their primary care doctor.

Additionally, comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and others are often reduced or may resolve completely. Most patients will find they need fewer medications over time, and many stop taking them altogether. In the short term, patients undergoing robotic bariatric surgery benefit from a procedure that is even less invasive and more precise than laparoscopic surgery (which is already minimally invasive). This allows for faster recovery and further reduces the overall risks associated with surgery.

Does Bariatric Surgery Always Work?

Studies show that many individuals who undergo bariatric surgery lose an average of 15 to 30 percent of their initial weight, depending on the type of surgery they have. However, no method, including surgery, guarantees consistent and sustained weight loss. Some people may not lose as much weight as they had hoped. Over time, some individuals regain a portion of the weight they lost. The amount of weight regained can vary. Factors influencing weight regain include the person's initial level of obesity and the type of surgery performed.

Bariatric surgery does not replace healthy habits but can make it easier to consume fewer calories and engage in more physical activity. Choosing healthy foods and beverages before and after surgery can help achieve greater weight loss and maintain it in the long term. Regular physical activity post-surgery also supports weight maintenance. To improve your health, you must commit to lifelong healthy lifestyle habits and follow the advice of your healthcare providers.
