Abstract

Intuitive Surgical, Inc., United States of America obtained Food and Drug Administration approval in 2000 and introduced the da VinciTM robot system in the United States providing an alternative platform for performing minimally invasive surgery. The system offers enhanced three-dimensional vision and wrist-like articulating instrumentation providing ergonomic and technical advantages to the surgeon. Soon after its introduction, we used the da VinciTM system, for complex abdominal operations including bariatric procedures. Its use has now been described for adjustable gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and biliopancreatic diversion with or without duodenal switch.
