While conventional laparoscopy is the gold standard for almost all bariatric procedures, robotic assistance holds promise for facilitating complex surgeries and improving clinical outcomes. Since the report of the first robotic-assisted bariatric procedure in 1999, numerous publications, including those reporting comparative trials and meta-analyses across bariatric procedures with a focus on robotic assistance, can be found.
This article reviews the current literature and portrays the perspectives of robotic bariatric surgery.
While there are substantial reports on robotic bariatric surgery currently in publication, most studies suffer from low levels of evidence. As such, although robotics technology is without a doubt superior to conventional laparoscopy, the precise role of robotics in bariatric surgery is not yet clear.
虽然传统腹腔镜检查几乎是所有减肥手术的金标准，但机器人辅助技术有望促进复杂手术并改善临床结果。自 1999 年首次报告机器人辅助减肥手术后，已经有许多出版物，包括对减肥手术的比较试验和荟萃分析报告，都集中在机器人辅助方面。
本文回顾了当前的文献，并描述了机器人减肥手术的观点。
虽然目前有大量关于机器人减肥手术的报告，但大多数研究的证据水平较低。因此，尽管机器人技术无疑优于传统腹腔镜检查，但机器人在减肥手术中的确切作用尚不清楚。
