ROBOT-ASSISTED SURGERY: FEW ADVANTAGES DESPITE HIGH COSTS
Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Health Technology Assessment investigates robot-assisted surgery for indications in the thorax and abdomen Vienna (Austria), 28. May 2019 – Clinical studies on robot-assisted surgery for indications in the thorax and abdomen have so far shown few advantages for this cost-intensive surgical method. This is the result of a recent analysis by the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Health Technology Assessment, which examined relevant international clinical studies. In fact, the data situation is currently very unsatisfactory, as there are few larger, high-quality studies available. Robot-assisted surgery allows minimally…
