摘 要：Urology has been on the forefront of technological advances in minimally invasive surgery, from laparoscopy to robot-assisted surgeries. As with all new technological advances in medicine, the results of new advances are compared to previously established gold standards. When it comes to robot-assisted urology, morbidity, oncological outcomes, and cost between the same surgeries performed in an open fashion vs with robot-assistance should be assessed. Because healthcare spending is increasingly under more scrutiny, there is debate on the cost effectiveness of robot-assisted surgeries given the high acquisition and maintenance cost of robotic systems. This articles aims to critically evaluate the cost effectiveness of robot-assisted surgeries for prostatectomies, cystectomies, and partial nephrectomies in the United States.
