Cost and outcome of robotic vs laparoscopic gastric bypass
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery for weight loss: using a robot or using standard laparoscopic tools. It looks at how well each method works and how much it costs, which may help you and your doctor choose the best option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of minimally invasive weight-loss surgery: gastric bypass versus a gastric band. It looks at which approach works better and is safer for people who qualify for bariatric surgery and have not succeeded with supervised weight-loss programs.
This study follows adults who have bariatric (weight-loss) surgery to see what outcomes they experience afterward. It may help doctors better understand how well the surgery works in real life.
This study looks at how the length of different parts of your small intestine affects weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. It may help doctors tailor the surgery for better results.
This trial compares two types of surgery (robotic and laparoscopic) to see which leads to fewer problems after a second weight-loss operation. It is for people who need to revise their first bariatric surgery to a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
This trial compares a new version of gastric bypass (with a longer 150cm bypassed segment) to the standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass to see which leads to better weight loss and health improvements. It is for people with severe obesity who are already scheduled for surgery and want to help find the best procedure.
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery: one done with the help of a robot and the other done by hand (laparoscopic). Both are types of sleeve gastrectomy, where the stomach is reduced in size. If you qualify for sleeve gastrectomy, this trial may help doctors learn which method works better.
