The authors performed a literature review to identify cost-effectiveness research as it pertains to robotic surgery. There is increased utilization of robotic surgery in urology with limited comparative effectiveness research demonstrating superiority over conventional, less costly treatment options. Further research into identifying determinants for optimal utilization of robotics and newer technology is needed.
作者进行了文献回顾，以确定与机器人手术相关的成本效益研究。机器人手术在泌尿外科中的应用日益增多，但有限的比较有效性研究表明其优于传统、成本较低的治疗选择。需要进一步研究确定最佳利用机器人和新技术的决定因素。
