Brief summary
A retrospective, population-based analysis examining the rates of robotic surgery between the years of 2009 - 2018.
Detailed description
A retrospective, population-based analysis examining the rates of robotic surgery in Ontario between the years of 2009 - 2018. The purposes of the study were (i) to describe temporal trends and (ii) patient- and system-level determinants of receiving robotic compared to open or laparoscopic surgery.
Interventions
PROCEDURERobotic Surgery
Surgical procedure using robotic technologies.
PROCEDUREOpen Surgery
Surgical procedure using a large, open cut in the skin.
PROCEDURELaparoscopic Surgery
