This study investigates the safety of robotic-assisted cholecystectomy compared to laparoscopic cholecystectomy among Medicare beneficiaries.
Analyzed trends in robotic-assisted cholecystectomy from 2020 to 2023
Compared outcomes with laparoscopic cholecystectomy using risk adjustment methods
Identified differences in safety outcomes between robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Found specific trends in the adoption of robotic techniques in the Medicare population
Abstract
This cohort study explores trends in robotic-assisted cholecystectomy use among Medicare beneficiaries from 2020 to 2023 and compares risk-adjusted outcomes with laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
