The COMPARE Study: Comparing Perioperative Outcomes of Oncologic Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic, da Vinci Robotic, and Open Procedures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Evidence.

Annals of surgery·2024

Robotic single-site cholecystectomy offers a safe and cost-effective alternative to laparoscopic approaches. This method demonstrates equivalent operative times and patient outcomes, with increased daily case volume for robotic procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Robotics
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Single-incision surgery is increasingly popular, with new robotic and laparoscopic instruments addressing technical challenges.
  • Cost and efficiency remain key considerations for single-incision approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the perioperative outcomes and efficiency of single-site robotic cholecystectomy versus single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • To evaluate the safety and cost-effectiveness of robotic assistance in single-incision gallbladder surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection for robotic single-site cholecystectomy (n=20).
  • Retrospective data review for single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (n=10).
  • Comparison of operative time, case volume, blood loss, and complications.

Robotic-assisted Lateral Pancreaticojejunostomy for Chronic Pancreatitis

Published on: September 5, 2025

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in patient characteristics or perioperative outcomes between groups.
  • Equivalent operative times (84.6 min robotic vs. 85.5 min laparoscopic).
  • Higher daily case volume for robotic surgery (2 cases/day) compared to laparoscopic (1 case/day); P=0.0306.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic single-site cholecystectomy is a safe and cost-effective option where robotic systems are available.
  • The study supports robotic single-site cholecystectomy as a viable alternative to traditional laparoscopic methods.
