As robotic cholecystectomy, also known as gallbladder removal, becomes increasingly common, researchers have identified higher rates of bile duct injury in robotic cholecystectomy compared to the ...
In Medicare beneficiaries with varying levels of risk for adverse postoperative outcomes, the rate of bile duct injury is three times higher with robotic-assisted cholecystectomy than with ...
The purpose of the study was to challenge the claim by surgeons that differences in bile duct injury rates in robotic versus laparoscopic cholecystectomy were due to patient-selection factors. Using ...
