Excerpt

A comparison between a totally robotic laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) and a standard LRYGBP was not among the objectives of our study, and neither was our objective to compare handsewn vs. robotic sutured laparoscopic anastomoses. The purpose of our study, as clearly stated in its title [1], was to verify whether the introduction of the Da Vinci system in a bariatric program could improve the results of LRYGBP and therefore the results of robotic LRYGBP have been compared with our standard laparoscopic LRYGBP. The results of this study showed that there was no clinical improvement, but operative time was longer and the cost was higher. In our opinion, this was a clear answer to a precisely defined question. Other studies could, and probably should, be designed to answer to the questions proposed by Addeo and Buchs. …
