Superobese patients (SO) (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 50 kg/m(2)) represent a real surgical challenge and the best management remains debatable. While the safety of a laparoscopic approach has been questioned for this population, robotics has been introduced in the armamentarium of the bariatric surgeon, yet its role remains poorly assessed, especially for a very high BMI. The study aim is thus to report our experience with robot-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for SO. From July 2006 to May 2012, 288 consecutive robot-assisted RYGB procedures have been performed at a single institution. All data were collected prospectively in a dedicated database. Among those patients, 41 were SO (14.2 %). All the peri- and postoperative parameters we...
