Robotic vs. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Safety Compared

JAMA Network

About The Study: This national analysis of Medicare beneficiaries undergoing cholecystectomy between 2020 and 2023 had 2 principal findings. First, the use of robotic-assisted cholecystectomy continued to increase substantially. Second, despite its growth, robotic-assisted cholecystectomy remained associated with higher risk-adjusted rates of bile duct injury compared with laparoscopic cholecystectomy, while differences in overall complication rates between approaches were small.
