What do Robotic Surgeons Actually Need

In this 15-minute keynote session, a leader in bariatric surgery moves beyond the hype to define the real unmet needs in the field. 

This visionary talk will explore the key clinical and operational challenges—from cost to efficiency—that must be solved to bring robotic surgery to the masses. 

The presentation will explore: 

• The Problem: Real-world barriers (cost, training, workflow) limiting robotics in a high-volume bariatric practice. 

• The Clinical Gap: Unmet needs in complex cases (e.g., revisions) where current tools fall short. 

• The Solution: A "wish list" for the ideal next-generation platform that is modular, cost-effective, and versatile.
