Evaluation of the Non-inferiority of the Robotic Approach Over the Laparoscopic Approach in Patients Who Are Candidates for Single Anastomosis Duodeno-ileal Bypass With Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S)

Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS

Summary

Treating patients with super-obesity has always been challenging for bariatric surgeons due to the higher risk of postoperative complications and the limited success of commonly used bariatric procedures (restrictive and hypo-absorptive). In this context, these patients are often considered for more complex procedures, such as hypo-absorptive interventions. Over the past 15 years, a new hypo-absorptive procedure called single-anastomosis duodenal switch with biliopancreatic diversion (SADI-S) has been introduced and recognized as a bariatric procedure by leading national and international scientific societies. It has shown promising short- and medium-term results regarding weight loss and metabolic improvements. The SADI-S procedure is a technically complex multi-quadrant surgery. This study aims to evaluate the equivalence in terms of morbidity between laparoscopic and robotic approaches for patients undergoing this procedure.
