The Feasibility of Societal Cost Equivalence between Robotic Hysterectomy and Alternate Hysterectomy Methods for Endometrial Cancer

Table 3

Total cost estimates.

	TAH	TLH	TRH
Mean operative charge	$33,756	$33,706	$44,698*
Mean encounter charge	$54,110*	$39,367	$51,552*
Expected societal cost	$59,997	$41,339	$54,062

TAH: total abdominal hysterectomy, TLH: total laparoscopic hysterectomy, and TRH: total robotic hysterectomy; *𝑃<0.01. Uncertainty in the expected societal costs is assessed using a Monte Carlo simulation (Figure 2).
