Article Synopsis
- * Involving 9097 patients, the research found that complications were minimal in robotic gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, with no fatalities reported.
- * While robotic procedures had longer operation times, they showed better outcomes than laparoscopic methods in certain cases, particularly in expert centres. However, results from learning phase centres did not meet the same benchmarks.
Background: Paraesophageal hernias (PEHs; types II-III-IV) account for about 5% of all hiatal hernias (HHs). The peculiarity of PEHs is the presence of a herniated sac which contains a more or less important part of the stomach, along with other abdominal organs in type IV PEHs. Surgical treatment is more complex since it requires a reduction not only of the herniated content but also of the "container," namely the sac adherent to mediastinal structures.

Surgical revision may include re-banding, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), duodenal switch (DS), or laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). LRYGBP has been proposed as the procedure of choice after failure of restrictive procedures with better results than any other procedure.

Methods: This is a retrospective chart review of 70 consecutive patients with operable cancer over a period of four years (January 2013 to December 2016). Ivor Lewis and McKeown interventions were performed.
