Long term resource consequences of a nationwide introduction of robotic surgery for women with early stage endometrial cancer.

Objective: The majority of cost-studies related to robotic surgery has a short follow-up and primarily report the costs from the index surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term resource consequences of introducing robotic surgery for early stage endometrial cancer in Denmark.

Methods: The study included all women with early stage endometrial cancer who underwent robotic, laparoscopic and open access surgery from January 2008 to June 2015.
