The robotic NICE procedure delivers superior cost-effectiveness in left-sided colorectal resections, showing a median direct cost of $9,946—well below laparoscopic ($16,389), robotic ($14,473), and open surgery ($10,427). Total costs mirror this trend, with NICE at $22,263, contrasted with $29,324 for laparoscopic, $32,908 for robotic, and $22,915 for open. Adjusted analyses reveal NICE results in up to $6,393 savings compared to laparoscopic options, underscoring its economic advantages and potential for better patient outcomes.
