Cost of robotic hysterectomies | 1,338 × $13,429 | = $17,968,002 | |
Cost of other MIS hysterectomy routes |
1,338 × $10,084 | = $13,492,392 + | |
Additional cases of superficial SSI |
8 × $10,084 | = $80,672 + | |
Additional blood transfusions | 14 × $761/unit × 2 units | = $21,308 | |
= $13,594,372 | |||
Difference in cost between robotic hysterectomy and other MIS hysterectomy routes with increased complications observed in this analysis |
