Article Synopsis
- This study compares same-day discharge robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy to traditional inpatient procedures, motivated by the need for inpatient beds during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- It involved 392 surgeries across two medical centers, analyzing complications, healthcare costs, and patient satisfaction within 30 days post-surgery.
- Findings indicated similar complication rates, a significant cost reduction of about $2106, and no notable difference in patient satisfaction, suggesting same-day discharge is a viable option for selected patients.
