Long term resource consequences of a nationwide introduction of robotic surgery for women with early stage endometrial cancer
Gynecologic Oncology Jun 11, 2019
Korsholm M, et al. - Researchers sought to evaluate how the introduction of robotic surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer would impact the resources in Denmark in long-term. From January 2008 to June 2015, 4133 women with early stage endometrial cancer were identified who underwent robotic, laparoscopic and open access surgery. Linking data from national databases revealed additional costs of $7309 per patient in the group exposed to robotic surgery including long-term costs post-surgery vs the non-exposed group (non-robotic group). When controlling for time trends, no reduction in the number of bed days was noted with the introduction of robotic surgery.
