The economy of motion of the totally robotic gastric bypass: technique, learning curve, and outcomes of a fellowship-trained, robotic bariatric surgeon.

We present our technique for a totally robot-assisted laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Moreover, data are presented in relation to a single-surgeon experience with use of the robotic platform in bariatric surgery. We reviewed a single surgeon's console and room time from 2009 to 2013 for all robot-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses (RARYGBs).

Progress in the treatment of blunt thoracic aortic injury: 12-year single-institution experience.

Background: Recent advancements in the diagnosis and management of blunt thoracic aortic injury have improved outcomes after operative repair. With consideration of these advancements, we analyzed our level 1 trauma experience with blunt traumatic aortic injury.

Methods: Between January 1997 and March 2009, 255 patients with blunt traumatic aortic injury were entered into the Utah Trauma Registry-Trauma Center Registry.
