Analysis of hospital costs for robotic and open pancreatectomy incurred during the implementation of a robotic pancreatectomy program at a cancer center
Overall, total hospital costs associated with robotic pancreatectomy were lower than those for open surgery, mainly driven by shorter length of stay. Our findings suggest that costs of robotic pancreatectomy may decrease further with increased surgeon experience.
