Obesity is an important public health issue in western countries and its incidence is continuously growing. Gastric bypass is considered the gold standard for treatment of morbid obesity. For some years now the use of robotic system is extended to advanced bariatric surgery in order to demonstrate its advantages compared with laparoscopic procedure without increasing complications. Recognized advantages of robotic assistance are three-dimensional view

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a significant public health concern. Robotic fundoplication has recently been introduced into clinical practice with the aim of improving surgical dexterity. We report a video of a case of Nissen fundoplication performed with the ausilium of the Da Vinci Surgical System. A 45-year-old man was admitted to the Department of Digestive Surgery and Liver Unit of St. Maria Hospital

Robotic systems are getting widely spread in recent years given the different technical advantages over traditional laparoscopy. Colon surgery seems to benefit from this approach facilitating the surgeon during the delicate phases of tissue dissection and intracorporeal anastomosis.
