Endo-cost: efficient economic model of adopting robotic versus laparoscopic gynecological surgery for endometrial cancer.

ABSTRACT: This retrospective cost-analysis study evaluated and compared the economic and clinical outcomes of laparoscopic versus robotic surgery in the treatment of endometrial cancer at the University and Polytechnic La Fe Hospital in Valencia, Spain. The analysis included 153 patients who underwent surgery between January 2022 and December 2024. Robotic surgery resulted in a shorter average hospital stay (1.12 vs. 1.7 days; p < 0.05) compared to laparoscopy, but was associated with significantly higher costs in both consumables (€1985 vs. €1197; p < 0.001) and fixed amortization (€2000 vs. €140; p < 0.001) and total cost per procedure (€4698 vs. €7052 ± 816; p < 0.001). No significant differences were observed in surgical time or postoperative complications. A theoretical cost model based on the
