A retrospective review of 299 cases (44.8% robotic) from three hospitals (2008–2010) was conducted, with 33% completing follow-up surveys. Robotic assistance was associated with higher hospital charges, particularly at two hospitals, but showed no significant differences in operative time, blood loss, complications, length of stay, or patient satisfaction. Patients receiving robotic assistance tended to have higher age, BMI, and cancer history. Findings suggest increased cost without clear clinical or satisfaction benefit. 000000727 540__ $$fCC BY 000000727 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000727 650__ $$aLaparoscopy$$023847 000000727 650__ $$aRobotics$$025584 000000727 650__ $$aHysterectomy$$020608 000000727 650__ $$aEconomics$$018190 000000727 650__ $$aMethods$$022159 000000727 650__ $$aNeoplasms$$022758 000000727 650__ $$aRetrospective Studies$$025415 000000727 650__ $$aPatient Satisfaction$$029657 000000727 650__ $$aHospital Charges$$030189 000000727 650__ $$aTreatment Outcome$$029508 000000727 650__ $$aRobotic Surgical Procedures$$040593 000000727 6531_ $$acomparative economics 000000727 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000727 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000727 7001_ $$aAndeen, Gabriel$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000727 8564_ $$96de1bfa8-d6d8-41e0-8fb0-ef5f31bbfa0b$$s980844$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/727/files/730_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2a2963959c106a38387b18055f5d20332$$31 000000727 905__ $$a/rest/prod/mc/87/pq/25/mc87pq25t 000000727 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:727$$pstudent-work 000000727 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
