Predictors of cost of admission for robot-assisted pedicle screw placement
Understanding the drivers of cost in robot-assisted pedicle screw placement is crucial to elucidate the value associated with the use of robotic systems in spine surgery. These results indicate that patient and surgical complexity influence cost and that robotic systems may augment management in spine surgery. Further investigation is warranted to determine the long-term benefits and cost-effectiveness of new technologies compared with traditional techniques in spine surgery.
