Completed

• Conditions: Surgery

• Registration Number: NCT05211128
• Lead Sponsor: Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

Brief Summary

A retrospective, population-based analysis examining the rates of robotic surgery between the years of 2009 - 2018.

Detailed Description

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.
