Design : Financial analysis comparing robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) and laparoscopic-assisted prostatectomy (LAP). Setting : Tertiary academic medical center. Interventions : Cost analysis using CPT coding for each procedure Main Outcome Measures: Revenue, total cost (sum of direct ...
Robotic-assisted laparoscopic urologic surgery (RALUS) limits access to the limbs and hinders routine monitoring and its interpretation, primarily from hydrostatic gradients. Although the effects of capnoperitoneum (CPT) for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Lap-C) have been well described, the added effects...
