Although use of the da Vinci robotic platform in bariatric surgery is gaining momentum, there are financial concerns.
Our retrospective study evaluated the cost of robotically assisted sleeve gastrectomy (R-SG) versus conventional laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (L-SG).
Center of Excellence bariatric surgery center in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
We analyzed consecutive patients who underwent primary R-SG and compared them with L-SG patients. Primary outcomes were overall cost for length of stay, operating time, and supplies. Secondary outcomes were 30-day complications, reoperations, and readmissions.
We had no adverse events in either group. The overall cost for R-SG and L-SG was not statistically different (mean total cost for R-SG and L-SG was $5308.99 and $4918.88, respectively). Operating time cost was significantly higher for R-SG compared with L-SG ($1340 versus $112 for R-SG and L-SG, respectively). R-SG had a shorter length of stay compared with L-SG (1.4 versus 1.5 d, respectively).
Our study revealed no difference in cost R-SG and L-SG, with a trend toward shorter length of stay for R-SG over time.
虽然达芬奇机器人平台在减重手术中的应用越来越广泛,但仍存在财务方面的担忧。
本回顾性研究旨在评估机器人辅助袖状胃切除术(R-SG)与传统腹腔镜袖状胃切除术(L-SG)的成本。
宾夕法尼亚州阿伦敦的卓越减重手术中心。
我们分析了接受原发性 R-SG 的连续患者,并将其与接受 L-SG 的患者进行比较。主要结果是总住院费用、手术时间和手术耗材的总成本。次要结果是 30 天内的并发症、再次手术和再次入院。
两组均未发生不良事件。R-SG 和 L-SG 的总费用无统计学差异(R-SG 和 L-SG 的总费用平均值分别为 5308.99 美元和 4918.88 美元)。与 L-SG 相比,R-SG 的手术时间成本显著更高(R-SG 和 L-SG 分别为 1340 美元和 112 美元)。R-SG 的住院时间比 L-SG 短(分别为 1.4 天和 1.5 天)。
我们的研究表明,R-SG 和 L-SG 的成本没有差异,R-SG 的住院时间随着时间的推移有缩短的趋势。
