Management of severe stricture after sleeve gastrectomy: conversion to bypass
Raquel Gonzalez-Heredia, MD, PhD, Mario Masrur, MD, Enrique Elli, MD, FACS. University of Illinois at Chicago. Failure of the sleeve gastrectomy is frequently due to weight recidivism, intractable reflux, strictures, fistulas and malnutrition. One of the challenging situation is presented when sleeve is asociated to stenosis resulting to intractable reflux. Robotic technology way offer technical… Continue Reading

Robot-assisted minimally invasive partial resection of the spleen for nonparasitic splenic cyst
Graziano Pernazza, MD, Annibale D'Annibale, MD. San Giovanni-Addolorata Hospital, Rome. BACKGROUND: Laparoscopy has become the technique of choice for the surgical treatment of non-traumatic pathologies of the spleen. Large published series demonstrated the effectiveness and benefits of the minimally invasive approach. In certain pathological conditions a partial resection seems an appropriate option not to lose… Continue Reading

Totally Robotic Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch
Ranjan Sudan, MD, Erica R Podolsky, MD. Duke University Medical Center. Background The biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) is a very effective but technically complex bariatric operation. We performed the first robotic BPD/DS in Sept 2000. Since the BPD/DS is performed in three different quadrants of the abdominal cavity and the robot has limited… Continue Reading

Hybrid Laparoscopic-Robotic Management of Type IVa Choledochal Cyst in the setting of prior Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Julietta Chang, MD, R. Matthew Walsh, MD, Kevin El-Hayek. Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Choledochal cysts are rare congenital lesions of the biliary system. The recommended treatment is surgical excision with biliary enteric reconstruction. In patients with normal anatomy, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is preferred. However, different options in biliary reconstruction must be entertained in those with altered anatomy.… Continue Reading
