Objective: To compare the occurrence of post-operative complications between patients undergoing gastroplasty by robot-assisted and videolaparoscopic (VLP) approaches. Methods: This is a case-control study. The electronic medical records of adult patients who underwent robot-assisted gastroplasty (case group) and VLP (control group) were included after electronic consent. Records of patients who had surgical technique conversion were excluded. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the institution where the research was conducted. Results: A total of 135 medical records were analyzed. The mean anesthetic time was 3h49 in the case group, compared to 2h10 in the control group (p<0.001). The average surgical time was 3h in the case group and 1h37 in the control group (p<0.001). The mean time spent in the post-anesthesia recovery room was 1h10 in the case group, compared to 1h07 in the control group (p=0.013). The occurrence of post-operative complications was similar between the study groups, with the most frequent being: pain (82; 60.7%), nausea (38; 28.1%), and vomiting (15; 11.1%). Conclusion: The post-operative complications assessed were similar between the groups. Patients undergoing VLP gastroplasty had significantly shorter anesthetic-surgical times compared to those undergoing robot-assisted surgeries.
