Brazilian national bariatric registry - pilot study.

Introduction: Brazil is a world leader in bariatric surgery. However, the actual number of surgeries performed in the country is still unknown. It is necessary to implement an instrument to monitor the quality of care provided.

Robotic-assisted bariatric surgery: case series analysis and comparison with the laparoscopic approach.

Objective: to report a series of cases of robotic bariatric surgery in the treatment of obesity in Brazil.

Methods: we evaluated patients undergoing robotic bariatric surgery at the Garrido Institute and compared them with a group submitted to conventional laparoscopic surgery.

Results: we analyzed 45 patients, with a mean age of 39.
