Authors' recommendations:
Study found that robotic prostatectomy is more costly to the NHS than laparoscopic prostatectomy because of the fixed capital and maintenance charges for the robotic system but that modelling shows that this excess cost can be reduced if capital costs of equipment are minimised and a high case volume for each robotic system of at least 100-150 procedures per year is maintained.
