    This study compares robotic hand-sewn and laparoscopic linear-stapled Roux-en-Y gastric bypass using propensity score matching.

  • 2

    Robotic procedures had longer operative durations and higher costs but lower analgesia scores and opioid consumption compared to laparoscopic procedures.

  • 3

    Length of stay was slightly shorter in the robotic cohort, although not statistically significant.

  • 4

    Both surgical techniques demonstrated similar effectiveness and safety in managing obesity and related comorbidities.

  • 5

    The findings suggest selective application of robotic techniques in complex cases due to their benefits in pain management.
