Update on Robotic Bariatric Surgery at Fresh Start


This is just a quick update on our robotic gastric bypass operations. We have now completed 23 Laparoscopic Roux en-Y Gastric Bypass operations with robotic assistance. We have had no complications from the robotic portion of the operation and the only complication was the infection from the non-robotic small intestinal connection that we reported in the previous update. The robotic portion has reduced in time from 2 hours to 45 minutes and most patients are now going home on the day after surgery. Overall I am delighted with our progress to date.
