  Fig. 2. Number of robotic cases by year. a Number of robotic bariatric cases performed over the study period. Case number for year 2022 (January to June) has been excluded. b Type of procedures performed over the study period. OAGB, one anastomosis gastric bypass; RYGB, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; SG, sleeve gastrectomy; SADI, single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass; SIPS, stomach intestinal pylorus-sparing bypass; BPD, biliopancreatic bypass/duodenal switch

  Fig. 3. Comparison of surgical practice between entire cohort of 30 robotic surgeons versus 30 highest volume non-robotic surgeons within the Registry. a–d Depicts the case volume of all the 30 robotic surgeons who participated in the Registry. a Sleeve gastrectomy case volume. b OAGB/RYGB/SIPS/SADI case volume. c Distribution of laparoscopic vs robotic case volume in percentages. d Distribution of SG vs OAGB/RYGB/SIPS/SADI case volume in percentages. Figure 3e–f depicts the case volumes of 30 highest volume non-robotic surgeons who participated in the Registry. e Distribution of sleeve gastrectomy vs OAGB/RYGB/SADI/SIPS in case volume. f Distribution of sleeve gastrectomy vs OAGB/RYGB/SADI/SIPS in percentages. OAGB, one anastomosis gastric bypass; RYGB, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; SADI, single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass; SIPS, single intestinal pylorus-sparing bypass
