摘要

The authors performed a thorough, population based cohort analysis of robot-assisted PN in the United States. Their findings, which expand on prior NIS outcome studies (references 11 and 19 in article), confirm that robot-assisted PN is associated with superior perioperative safety outcomes and decreased LOS compared to OPN. The NIS data highlight 2 important issues regarding the dissemination of surgical innovations through the urological community.
