In case of conventional laparoscopic surgery the human hands of operating surgeon will perform the operation. In robotic surgery, it is called “Robot” but it cannot act on its own but the operating surgeon will control the operating robotic arms sitting on the console.

Deep cavities – where it is technically difficult with hands or routine instruments however bariatric surgery is done in abdominal cavities where accessibility is equally good with routine instruments and hence robot has not really good advantages in this surgery. The application of robotic surgery in Bariatrics is restricted because of very high cost and no significant advantages in routine cases.
