If you have struggled to lose weight and have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or above, you may be a candidate for Robotic Bariatric Surgery or another weight loss procedure.
Robotic Bariatric Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure for weight loss in morbidly obese patients to reduce weight and improve long-term health. The procedure uses robotic equipment that extremely reduces complication rates.
The Intuitive da Vinci robot is a state-of-the-art machine that Dr. Thomas Brown uses to perform bariatric surgeries. Through robotic surgery, Dr. Brown ensures quick recovery time and low complication rates for patients compared to other bariatric surgeons in Denver, Colorado.
The robotic platform allows the movement of the surgeon’s fingers and hands to be more controlled. This translates into more precise movement of instruments which allows for improved and better surgical techniques. This is different from traditional laparoscopic procedures, which rely on two-pronged instruments.

During robotic surgery, the 3D picture provided by the robot gives the surgeon depth perception. Traditional laparoscopic pictures are two-dimensional, so they look like something you would view on television. Depth perception allows for a more precise understanding of the anatomy and decreases the chance for error.

The robot has the technology to check the blood supply to the stomach at the end of the procedure by injecting a dye into the bloodstream. This shows where the blood is flowing and eliminates any question involving the adequacy of blood supply to the stomach. The robot takes a lot of the guesswork out of surgery, meaning that the physician can focus on the task at hand.
