Inpatient Hospital Costs and Route of Hysterectomy for Management of Benign Uterine Disease in the 90-Day Global Billing Period.
Objective: To compare inpatient hospital costs and complication rates within the 90-day global billing period among routes of hysterectomy.
Methods: The Premier Healthcare Database was used to identify patients who underwent hysterectomy between 2000 and 2020. Current Procedural Terminology codes were used to group patients based on route of hysterectomy. Comorbidities and complications were identified using International Classification of Diseases codes. Fixed, variable, and total costs for inpatient care were compared. Fixed costs consist of costs that are set for the case, such as operating room time or surgeon costs. Variable costs include disposable and reusable items that are billed additionally. Total costs equal fixed and variable costs combined. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance, t test, and χ 2 test, as appropriate. Factors independently associated with increased total costs were assessed using linear mixed effects models. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate associations between the route of surgery and complication rates.
Results: A cohort of 400,977 patients were identified and grouped by route of hysterectomy. Vaginal hysterectomy demonstrated the lowest inpatient total cost ($6,524.00 [interquartile range $4,831.60, $8,785.70]), and robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy had the highest total cost ($9,386.80 [interquartile range $6,912.40, $12,506.90]). These differences persisted with fixed and variable costs. High-volume laparoscopic and robotic surgeons (more than 50 cases per year) had a decrease in the cost difference when compared with costs of vaginal hysterectomy. Abdominal hysterectomy had a higher rate of complications relative to vaginal hysterectomy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.52, 95% CI, 1.39-1.67), whereas laparoscopic (aOR 0.85, 95% CI, 0.80-0.89) and robotic-assisted (aOR 0.92, 95% CI, 0.84-1.00) hysterectomy had lower rates of complications compared with vaginal hysterectomy.
Conclusion: Robotic-assisted hysterectomy is associated with higher surgical costs compared with other approaches, even when accounting for surgeon volume. Complication rates are low for minimally invasive surgery, and it is unlikely that the robotic-assisted approach provides an appreciable improvement in perioperative outcomes.
