Robotic surgery has become popular in recent years and has advantages for both patient and surgeon

Benefits to patients include more precise surgery with less blood loss, fewer infections, less pain, and shorter recovery because of smaller incisions, and in many cases better clinical outcomes

Benefits to surgeons include enhanced visibility and manual dexterity allowing precise surgery in otherwise difficult locations, as well as the ability to operate while sitting

Obesity is a disease state in which an individual is carrying more weight than they should, to the extent that health is impaired.

The weight-to-height ratio, also known as the body mass index (BMI) is normally between 18 and 25

A person with a BMI above 25 is considered overweight and one with a BMI above 30 is considered affected by obesity

Morbid obesity is present when a BMI is more than 35 with associated serious medical problems, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, or when the BMI is above 40
