Robotic Bariatric Surgery
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is currently a worldwide epidemic of obesity, and metabolic bariatric surgery is the optimal treatment for severe obesity. Robotic surgery is the latest advancement in the area of minimally invasive surgery. The use of the robot allows surgeons to perform complicated and long-lasting procedures with greater precision and improved ergonomics. This new surgical approach is also gaining success in the field of obesity surgery. However, few articles have been published on this topic. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect evidence from reviews and original articles showing the benefits or the pitfalls of robotic bariatric surgery.
