Robotic Sleeve Gastrectomy Procedure

The primary treatment is a robot-assisted sleeve gastrectomy. It is performed with a Da Vinci Si robotic system. This surgery removes a large portion of the stomach. This creates a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach pouch. The technique reduces appetite through hormonal changes. The operation involves a 5 to 6-day hospital stay. Patients can expect a 30-40% weight loss in the first year.
