About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Minimum 18 years old
  • Received an elective radical prostatectomy, total hysterectomy, partial nephrectomy, or thoracic lobectomy using an open, laparoscopic or robotic approach between 2008-2018

Exclusion criteria

  • Non-Ontario residents
  • Non-elective procedure
  • Patients without OHIP eligibility
  • Patients who had an identical procedure in the previous two years

Treatment and study plan

Robotic surgery

Procedure

Surgical procedure using robotic technologies.

Open Surgery

Procedure

Surgical procedure using a large, open cut in the skin.

Laparoscopic surgery

Procedure

Surgical procedure using small incisions and trochars.

Primary outcomes

  1. Temporal trends

    Time frame: 2009 - 2018

    To describe temporal trends in robotic surgery

Other outcomes

  1. Determinants of surgery type

    Time frame: 2009 - 2018
