Safety and Efficiency of Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Revisional Bariatric Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background

Revisional bariatric surgery is increasingly performed due to weight regain, inadequate weight loss, or complications following primary bariatric procedures. These operations are technically challenging, and while laparoscopic surgery remains the standard approach, robotic platforms have gained adoption. However, comparative evidence on safety and efficiency remains limited and methodologically heterogeneous.
