The aim of this study was to test for differences in total hospital cost (THC) between robot-assisted vs. open partial nephrectomy (PN), radical cystectomy (RC), radical prostatectomy (RP) and radical nephroureterectomy (NU). Within the National Inpatient Sample (2010-2019), we identified all robot-assisted vs. open PN, RC, RP and NU patients. Multivariable Poisson regression models were fitted. Of all surgeries, 22,572 (56%) were robot-assisted PN (RPN), 5114 (24%) were robot-assisted RC (RARC), 99,134 (70%) were robot-assisted RP (RARP), and 1138 (24%)…
