Robotic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Introduction
Robotic Sleeve Gastrectomy removes about 70–80% of the stomach, creating a narrow “sleeve.” Robotic precision ensures uniform stapling, reduced leak risk, and minimal tissue trauma. This procedure reduces hunger hormones (ghrelin) and helps patients lose 60–70% of excess weight.
