Comparative effectiveness of robotically assisted compared with laparoscopic adnexal surgery for benign gynecologic disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To perform a population-based analysis to compare the complications and cost of laparoscopic and robotically assisted adnexal surgery.

Methods

A nationwide database was used to analyze the use and outcomes of robotically assisted adnexal surgery from 2009 to 2012. Multivariable mixed effects regression models were developed to examine predictors of use of robotic surgery. After propensity score matching, complications and cost were compared between robotically assisted and laparoscopic surgery.

Results

Eighty-seven thousand five hundred fourteen women were identified. From 2009 to 2012, performance of robotic-assisted oophorectomy increased from 3.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.2-3.8%) to 15.0% (95% CI 14.4-15.6%), whereas robotically assisted cystectomy
