Minimally invasive surgery has been clearly proven as superior to open surgery and has thus become the standard of care. Traditional minimally - invasive surgery has limitations of loss of rotation and angulation which may present further challenges. Although the robotic platform addresses these limitations, the cost of the robotic platform can preclude its global availability. This program will present an alternative surgical platform which addressed the limitations of traditional minimally - invasive surgery without necessitating the capital outlay required to acquire a robot.

Bariatric Surgery has grown exponentially in Germany. Of all the procedures, Sleeve Gastrectomy is currently the one most commonly performed, representing 50% of bariatric interventions. In this Masterclass I will focus on postoperative care and psychological support of Sleeve Gastrectomy patients. We will go through the specifics of follow-up in Germany, how to avoid losing patients in follow-up, warning signs, and complications surgeons should be alert to.
