Using a robot to perform a Roux en-Y gastric bypass brings significant value to patients.
I had performed at least 800 gastric bypass operations laparocopically without q robot before I began to perform this operation with the help of a surgical robot. The robot does not perform the operation but helps me perform the operation with more precision and with allowing me to see better.
I compared the last 100 gastric bypass operations I performed without a robot to the first 100 gastric bypass operations I performed with a robot. I found the following:
1). It took more time to perform the robotic operations. On one hand this is not surprising since I had performed so many laparoscopically and had the opportunity to decrease the time it takes me to perform the operation in that way. On the other hand it will take time for me to continue to to improve on the time.
2). Most patients in the robotic group left the hospital the day after the operation while most of the patients that had a gastric bypass operation without the use of the robot left the hospital after 2 days.
3). The patients in the robotic group had less bleeding. in fact only one patient in the robotic group received even 1 unit of blood whereas 5 patients in the non-robotic group received blood and they each received an average of more that 2 units of blood. I believe this is because I can see better, perform the operation with more precision and with the help of the robot I am able to perform some of the connections with sutures instead of staples.
4). There was no increase in complications with using the robot even though these were my first 100 operations.
Although it took a lot of patience and effort to learn to perform a gastric bypass with the surgical robot, I believe it was more than worth it.
Today most gastric bypass operations are performed laparoscopically without a robot. There is nothing wrong with having an operation in this manner and in fact this would be the choice for most surgeons. However, the robotic approach is being used by more surgeons and in my practice I have shown that I have even less complications when I use the robot.
If you have questions please let know and I will be happy to do my best to answer them.
I think all we need is a long term solution for this Obesity problem and each one of us must responsible to what ever actions we do since those are the main reason why we become obese. The only thing that we need to do right now is to fight it in order for us all to have a better and much happier life ahead. Gastric Bypass? does anyone here consider it as the best solution? But I got from a review that says "Roca Labs is safer than gastric bypass surgery". It's a good news right? I got this information from this link- youtube.com/user/RocaLabsReviews.
ReplyDeleteWe all should have an alternative to gastric bypass surgery for the long term treatment of Obesity. It is indeed a good news that we have alternatives. Roca Labs is safer and cheaper than gastric bypass surgery. You are spared from the risk and complications of the procedure. Thank you for that. I was considering bariatric surgery but having found the better alternative. I no longer have the need to do so.
ReplyDeleteI would like to say that medical treatment or surgery is also less expensive in India than other countries of the world. NRI and Foreigner are coming to India for less expensive and better laparoscopic surgery than other countries of the world. We are also providing advanced laparoscopic surgery for bariatric surgery, hernia and colorectal surgery in less expensive in Delhi Noida.
