ROBOTIC ENDOLUMINAL SLEEVE GASTROPLASTY PROCEDURE DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Robotic endoluminal sleeve gastroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure for obesity treatment, showcasing good weight loss outcomes with reduced adverse events. Utilizing an endoscopic full-thickness suturing device, the stomach's size is reduced, altering gastric emptying and resulting in weight loss. Robotic platforms show promise in addressing technical complexities, potentially increasing patient access. A fully robotic endoscopic system was demonstrated in a porcine stomach model, showcasing precise suturing techniques. The system's multi-articulating instruments could standardize procedures, improving outcomes for less experienced practitioners. Further research is needed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of this innovative approach.
