Robotic Sleeve Gastrectomy

information on docking and approach to robotic sleeve gastrectomy using the Da Vinci Si system, please refer to Fig. 1.
After induction of general anesthesia, the patient is placed in the supine posi­tion with both arms extended and secured to arm boards. A foot board is used to allow for steep reverse Trendelenburg position during the surgery. The patient’s abdominal wall is prepped and draped, and the robotic arms are draped in a sterile fashion. The anesthesia drape barrier should be positioned low enough to allow for sufficient working space for the robotic arms.
The procedure is then begun by obtaining access to the abdominal cavity using a Veress needle technique. Once adequate insufflation is obtained, a 0 degree 5-mm laparoscope inside a robotic 8-mm Optiview trocar is used for optical entry at the same site of Veress needle insertion. After inspection of the abdominal cav­ity, we routinely perform a transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block using a mix­ture of Exparel, Marcaine, and saline. Additional trocars are then placed under direct visualization with an 8-mm trocar and a 12-mm trocar on the right side of the abdominal wall, and an additional 8-mm trocar and 12-mm assistant port on the left side of the abdominal wall (Fig. 2). It is critical to place all robotic trocar sites at least 8 cm apart (10 cm with Si platform) to avoid collisions of the arms.

The patient is then placed in steep reverse Trendelenburg position at a mini­mum of 20°. A Nathanson liver retractor is placed through a small stab incision below the xiphoid process and is used to retract the left lobe of the liver in a medial fashion. When securing the Nathanson liver retractor to the bed rail, it is important to place the post low enough to allow for sufficient clearance for the robotic arms.
Once the trocars and liver retractor have been placed and the patient is appro­priately positioned, the robot is docked. We routinely position the robotic cart at the patient’s right side. The camera port is docked first using robotic arm three (R3). A 30° robotic scope is inserted into the abdomen in the 30° down position. The target anatomy, in this case the stomach, is selected and the robotic target­ing process is completed to align the camera port with the robotic column. The remaining robotic arms (R1, R2, R4) are then docked. A 12–8 mm reducer is placed in the 12-mm trocar initially. A robotic vessel sealer (R4) and two Cadiere graspers (R1, R2) are then introduced into the abdomen under direct visualization. The assistant port can be used for retraction, suction, and insertion of sponges or needles as necessary.
The surgery begins with identifying a point 4 cm proximal to the pylorus along the greater curvature of the stomach. A Cadiere grasper (R2) is then used to ele­vate the greater curvature of the stomach at this point and provide medial retrac­tion. An atraumatic grasper may be used to provide lateral counter traction of the gastrocolic ligament. The vessel sealer is then used to divide the gastrocolic liga­ment until the lesser sac is entered. Division of the gastrocolic ligament is then carried superiorly to the angle of His using the vessel sealer (see Fig. 3). As dis- section is carried out superiorly, the gastrosplenic ligament is divided to mobilize the gastric fundus from the spleen and off the left crus of the diaphragm. To aid in mobilization of the fundus, the second Cadiere grasper (R1) can be used to grasp the greater curvature and roll the stomach by providing inferior and medial retrac­tion. Full mobilization of the fundus is critical to avoid a large retained fundus as well as to correctly identify the gastroesophageal junction and identify any poten­tial hiatal hernia. If a hiatal hernia is identified, it should be repaired at that time.

Once mobilization is complete, the anesthesiologist advances a 36-French ViSiGi™ bougie under direct visualization towards the pylorus. The bougie is positioned along the lesser curvature of the stomach and then placed to suction and secured. Stapling of the stomach is then begun using the robotic 60 mm SureForm™ stapler through the second robotic arm (R2). Although the stapler height varies depending on factors such as BMI, gender, and stomach thickness, typically, we start with a black load followed by two green loads and then blue loads for the remainder.
The first staple load with the robotic SureForm™ stapler is deployed across the gastric antrum approximately 5 cm proximal to the pylorus at a slight horizontal angle. During the second firing, care should be taken not to narrow the sleeve too much at the level of the incisura to prevent distal obstruction (see Fig. 4). During transection of the greater curvature of the stomach, particular attention is given to retracting the stomach laterally at the site of the transected vessels to prevent corkscrewing of the gastric sleeve. After the greater curvature is fully divided, the staple line is imbricated using a 2-0 barbed absorbable suture while the bougie remains in place.
After inspecting for hemostasis, the robot is undocked and moved away from the operative field. The Nathanson liver retractor is removed under direct visual­ization. The 12-mm robotic trocar site is then extended and dilated to allow for removal of the gastric specimen. The specimen is then sent for routine pathologi­cal evaluation. Although a specimen bag or wound protection device may be used, we do not routinely use such devices. The site of specimen removal is then closed using a #1 Vicryl suture with a laparoscopic trocar closure device before closing the skin at all trocar sites with 4-0 monocryl suture.

6 Clinical Outcomes

Complications following RSG are similar to those seen following LSG and are widely reported in the literature [2022]. The overall 30-day mortality and mor­bidity following SG is reported to be 0% to 1.2% and 0% to 17.5%, respectively

[23]. Complications specific to SG include bleeding, stenosis, portal thrombosis and leak. The most feared of these complications is the staple line leak because of its associated high morbidity and mortality and significantly increased health­care costs. The leak rate after sleeve gastrectomy has been reported between 0–6% [2429].
Although there is a paucity of long-term data following RSG, there are a num­ber of studies looking at 30-day outcomes. Many of these studies have demon­strated that robotic bariatric surgery has a similar safety profile when compared to laparoscopic bariatric surgery [21, 30, 31]. In a meta-analysis which included sixteen studies and 29,787 patients, Magouliotis et al. found that the RSG tech­nique showed significantly higher mean operative time and increased length of hospital stay. Post-operative incidence of leakage, wound infection, and bleeding were comparable to LSG [20]. Some have suggested that RSG may have improved outcomes when compared with LSG [32]. In a propensity score-matched compara­tive analysis of the 2015–2016 MBSAQIP database, Sebastian et al. reported that postoperative bleeding and blood transfusion are significantly reduced in bariatric surgery when using a robotic platform [32].
However, other studies have suggested that RSG may be associated with increased complications when compared with LSG. In a review of the MBSAQIP database, Fazl-Alizadeh et al.’s report found no significant difference in 30-day mortality between RSG and LSG (0.02% vs. 0.01%, P = 0.88). However, RSG was associated with higher serious morbidity (1.1% vs. 0.8%, P < 0.01), higher leak rate (1.5% vs. 0.5%, P < 0.01), and higher surgical site infection rate (0.7% vs.
0.4%, P = 0.01) [33] (see Table 1).
In a more recent review of the 2016 MBSAQIP database, Lundberg et al. report no difference in serious adverse events or mortality when comparing laparoscopic and robotic sleeve gastrectomy. However, RSG was found to have a higher rate of organ space infection when compared to LSG (odds ratio 2.07). Otherwise, RSG did not significantly differ from LSG save for a longer median operative time (89 vs. 63 min, respectively, P < 0.0001) [34] (see Table 2).
Although RSG is still an overall safe and effective procedure, consideration should be given to these findings of increased complications when selecting the approach to SG. The increased complications may be explained by the use of older technology in previously reported outcomes as well as an undefined learning curve. There has been some suggestion that robotic bariatric surgery outcomes are improving over time making it reasonable to expect that we may continue to see an improvement in the safety profile and benefits of the robotic platform in bariat­ric surgery [8]. Additional research with prospective randomized trials is needed to confirm these findings (Table 3).

7 Future Directions

Although robotic surgery offers superior technology and many potential advan­tages, there is no level 1 evidence to suggest that it is superior to laparoscopy for bariatric procedures. Additionally, concerns over cost and increase operative times remain [5, 6]. However, with development of new robotic platforms and technology and the introduction of competition into the robotic surgery market, it is reasonable to expect an improvement in both cost and efficiency, as well as a potential improvement in outcomes. To assess the outcomes and further deter­mine the effectiveness of robotic bariatric surgery, it is essential to continually track outcomes. Most robotic outcome studies in bariatric surgery are based on the MBSAQIP database. Unfortunately, the MBSAQIP database does not collect robotic specific data. Creation of multi-institutional robotic specific databases or adding robotic specific data to national databases such as MBSAQIP will help fur­ther define the safety profile and advantages of robotic bariatric surgery.

8 Conclusion

Robotic sleeve gastrectomy is a safe and effective treatment for patients with mor­bid obesity. The operative steps are similar to that of a laparoscopic sleeve gastrec­tomy. The robotic approach to sleeve gastrectomy offers potential advantages such as 3-dimensional visualization, improved surgeon dexterity, and increased degrees of motion which may be particularly beneficial in super morbid obese patients. Outcomes are comparable to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Further studies are needed before meaningful conclusions can be made on whether robotic sleeve gas­trectomy is advantageous or not.
