“…An analysis of 20 different robot-assisted procedures found that the robot added a 13 % cost to the procedures (about $3,200 more); this included the amortized cost of the robot [14]. Similarly, it has been found robotic colectomies cost about $3,000 more than laparoscopic colectomies [23]. Conversely, using a national database, it has been reported that robotic surgery is costeffective and as safe as a non-robotic surgery [24].…”

Does the cost of robotic cholecystectomy translate to a financial burden?

Relative to laparoscopic cholecystectomy, robotic cholecystectomy takes longer and has greater charges. Revenue, EBDIT, and Net Income are similar after either approach; this indicates that costs with either approach are similar. Notably, this is possible because much of hospital-based costs are determined by cost allocation and not cost accounting. Thus, the cost of longer operations and costs inherent to the robotic approach for cholecystectomy do not translate to a perceived financial burden.

“…Moreover, all patients (100%) in SIL-V group reported that they were satisfied regarding the cosmetic result with no patient being dissatisfied compared to 90.4% of patients in CTL-V being satisfied and 3 patients dissatisfied. Golkar et al [26] reported that SILS provides an opportunity for improved patient care and satisfaction because patient demands for more cosmetically pleasing surgery are increasing especially in younger patients.…”

“…However, at 6 months after surgery, this finding is only confirmed by physician while from a patient' point of view standard laparoscopy and open approach perform similarly, with only mini-laparoscopy holding a better scar assessment. These findings might be explained by fact that scarring is a time-dependent process [20] and cosmetic satisfaction may be fluid [21].…”

Image Questionnaire (BIQ) scales, respectively, recorded at skin clips removal and either at 6 months after surgery. Results Overall, 32 patients were enrolled and completed the 6 month of follow-up. At clips removal, laparoscopic approaches offered better scar result than open surgery according to the POSAS. However, at 6 months, no differences were detected between VLP and open, whereas ML was still associated with a better scar outcome (p = 0.001). This finding was also confirmed by both BIQ scales, including the body image score (ML 9.8 ± 1.69, open 15.73 ± 3.47, VLP 13.27 ± 3.64; p = 0.001) and the cosmetic score (ML 16.6 ± 4.12, open 10 ± 1.9, LP 12.91 ± 3.59; p = 0.001). Small sample size and lack of randomization represent the main limitations of this study. Conclusions ML RP offers a better cosmetic outcome when compared to both open and standard laparoscopic RP, representing a step toward minimal surgical scar. The impact of scar outcome on RP patients' quality of life remains to be determined.
