Da Vinci robotic surgery shows improved outcomes compared to laparoscopic and open procedures

The analysis of over 1.1 million minimally invasive surgical cases indicates that da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery (dv-ras) offers significant benefits over laparoscopic and open techniques. Although operative times were longer for dv-ras, patients experienced shorter hospital stays and reduced blood loss. Moreover, dv-ras was associated with fewer conversion rates, transfusions, postoperative complications, readmissions, and mortality compared to both laparoscopic and open surgeries, providing robust evidence for its benefits across various oncological procedures.
