Robotic approach reduces surgical challenges in obese patients.

Obese patients undergoing robotic cholecystectomy demonstrated significant improvements over laparoscopic procedures, with a conversion rate to open surgery of 0.0% compared to 3.2% in laparoscopic cases. Additionally, robotic-assisted patients experienced shorter hospital stays, averaging 1 day, versus 1 day for those undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The findings indicate that robotic cholecystectomy may provide superior postoperative outcomes by minimizing complications associated with obesity during surgery.
