Popis: Trocar Site Hernia (TSH) seems to represent a rare surgical complication, but available data are based only on symptomatic patients and clinically diagnosed cases; moreover, no data are available concerning TSH incidence after robotic-assisted procedures. Aims of the study were to asses TSH incidence in obese patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and to compare it between robotic-assisted and standard laparoscopy. Patients who underwent RYGB between November 2007 and June 2012 underwent a clinical examination and an ultrasonography study of the abdominal wall by a single operator. 150 patients entered the study, 102 in the laparoscopic and 48 in the robotic group. Mean pre-operative weight and BMI were 129.3 kg and 47.4 kg/m2, respectively; both were higher in the laparoscopic group (134.7 vs 117.6 kg, p
