Laparoscopic versus robotic cholecystectomy: a systematic review with meta-analysis to differentiate between postoperative outcomes and cost-effectiveness.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robotic cholecystectomy (RC) has shown promising outcomes in multiple studies when compared with the gold standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The objective of this study is to compare the postoperative surgical outcomes and cost in patients undergoing RC versus LC.

Methods

Studies reporting postoperative outcomes and costs in patients undergoing RC versus LC were selected from medical electronic databases and analysis was conducted by the values of systematic review on the statistical software RevMan version 5.

Results

Six trials on 1,013 affected individuals for post-operative outcomes and cost comparison were used. Random effect model analysis was used in the analysis. Duration of operation (mean difference: -10.23, 95% CI: -16.23 to -4.22, Z=3.34
