Blackrock WeightCare has firmly positioned itself as a leading centre throughout Europe for robotic bariatric surgery. It is now established as a training and case observation centre for robotic bariatric surgery, welcoming surgeons from across the UK and Europe to come and learn robotic bariatric operations.
Recently, the clinic had the privilege of hosting Dr. Christian Keskari from University Medical Centre, Giessen, Germany, Mr. Sasindran Ramar from King’s College Hospital, London and Mr. Jamie Kelly from Southampton General Hospital, England alongside representatives from Intuitive Medical, to observe robotic procedures utilising the advanced daVinci Xi platform.
Advancing Robotic Bariatric Surgery Techniques
The use of robotic-assisted surgery with the daVinci Xi platform significantly enhances surgical precision, control, and visualisation for bariatric operations. At Blackrock WeightCare, visiting surgeons gain invaluable insights into complex procedures such as Robotic Gastric Sleeve, Robotic Gastric Bypass, and the innovative Robotic SADI-S operation which has been introduced in Ireland by Mr. William Robb.
Visiting surgeons can observe live surgeries and learn advanced approaches that improve patient care through shorter recovery times, minimal scarring, and enhanced safety.
Elevating Bariatric Care Standards Across Europe
Blackrock WeightCare’s commitment to education and training helps build a skilled network of surgeons equipped to integrate robotic techniques into their own practices. This network contributes to elevating bariatric surgery standards, ultimately allowing more patients to benefit from state-of-the-art procedures like robotic SADI-S and SASI-S.
Strengthening the Professional Community
As a training and case observation hub, Blackrock WeightCare promotes collaboration and excellence in bariatric surgery, ensuring patients throughout the region receive the highest quality treatment options. The recent visiting surgeons with Intuitive Medical is one example of how Blackrock WeightCare continues to share best practices and lead advancements in the field for bariatric and metabolic surgery.
Through initiatives like these, the centre reinforces its role in advancing bariatric care and supporting the next generation of surgeons in mastering robotic-assisted techniques for a range of life-changing procedures.
