Duodenal Switch Operative Mortality and Morbidity Are Not Impacted by Body Mass Index

Abstract

With attention to careful surgical technique, DS can be performed relatively safely in the morbidly and super morbidly obese, and does not require a 2-stage procedure.

Robot-Assisted Sleeve Gastrectomy for Super-Morbidly Obese Patients

“…12,13 Likewise, although the da Vinci robotic system (Intuitive, Sunnyvale, CA) has been used successfully since the early 2000s in the bariatric population, essentially for LRYGB, [14][15][16] its role in performing SG is still unclear and the literature remains scarce. 17,18 The aim of this small series was to evaluate the outcomes of robot-assisted SG (RASG), all performed at a single institution by a single surgeon.…”

Pancreatic, endocrine and bariatric surgery: The role of robot-assisted approaches

“…Independent of their benefits and metabolic risks, the most complex surgeries (biliopancreatic bypass, ileal interposition, etc.) are thus an ideal target for robotic surgery, since they require dissection, resection, and gastrointestinal suturing [69].…”

Angiocholites récidivantes après duodénal switch

“…Cependant, chez 5 à 10 % des patients, un résultat pondéral insuffisant impose de compléter par une intervention de type malabsorptive (by-pass, ou duodénal switch -DS) [2]. Nous présenterons ici le cas d'une patiente qui a présenté des angiocholites récidivantes dans les suites d'un DS complé-tant une SG.…”
