 Robotics in bariatric procedures offers greater accuracy and control. DFW Bariatrics and General Surgery is 
a reputable surgical practice with experienced surgeons that are trained to perform 
bariatric robotic-assisted surgery. 
 This article addresses some common myths about robotic bariatric procedures to help you understand the 
technology and procedure better. 
 Myth 1. Robotic-assisted Surgery & Laparoscopy Are The Same
 Both robotic-assisted surgery and Laparoscopy are minimally invasive procedures. In a laparoscopic 
procedure, the surgeon works at the operation site with tools and instruments in hand. In robotic-assisted 
surgery, the surgeon uses a console and 3D monitor to control the robotic arms that perform the surgery. 
The flexibility and range of motion that the robotic arms offer is much greater than the handheld 
instruments used in laparoscopy surgery. 
 Myth 2. The Surgeon Has No Control Over The Procedure
 The surgeon is in complete control of the procedure during robotic-assisted surgery. The surgeon is present 
in the operation room and is seated at a console that controls the robotic arms performing the surgery. The 
surgery is live streamed on a video camera, giving the surgeon a view of the operating site. Robotic surgery 
may even often have more control as the surgeon controls 4 arms instead of the 2 during traditional 
laparoscopy.
 Myth 3. No to Robotic-assisted Surgery in Complicated Cases
 Robotic-assisted surgery is the go-to procedure when operating on complicated and high-risk cases. The 
robotic arms offer higher flexibility and range of motion compared to a human arm. This ensures high 
precision and lowers the scope for errors. There are specific requirements to be a candidate for a robotic-
assisted procedure. Talk to a bariatric robotic-assisted surgery centre such as 
DFW Bariatrics and General Surgery to find out if you qualify. 
 Myth 4. Any Surgeon Or Team Can Perform A Robotic-assisted Surgery
 Robotic-assisted surgeries have a different set of tools and controls compared to other minimally invasive 
surgeries. They require specialized equipment and trained medical professionals. Only an experienced and 
qualified surgeon can operate the console during a robotic-assisted procedure. DFW Bariatrics has a team 
of experienced robotic surgeons supported by world-class bariatric robotic-assisted surgery tools.
