Scarborough, Erik B. Wilson Keywords: Robotic surgery; Gastric bypass; Learning curve; Outcomes Abstract: Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) has a reported learning curve of 100 cases. Robotic-assisted surgery decreases the learning curve in complex laparoscopic surgeries. We hypothesize that robotic-assisted, hand-sewn gastrojejunostomy during a LRYGB will improve results during the initial 100 cases when compared with the literature.
