Critical Outcomes in Nonrobotic vs Robotic-Assisted Cardiac Surgery [1]

Submitted by mferguson [2] on Wed, 2015-06-17 13:35

Using propensity score matching techniques, outcomes and costs for robotic cardiac surgery were compared to open cardiac surgery using data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample.  Robotic surgery was more expensive ($39,030 vs $36,340) but was associated with a shorter length of stay (5 vs 6 days), lower mortality (1.0% vs 1.9%), and lower overall complication rates (27.2% vs 30.3%).
