Original Title:
Robotassistert prostatektomi ved prostatakreft
Authors' objectives:
Robot-assisted surgery has been used in Norwegian
hospitals since 2004. The use of robot-assisted surgery
is increasing, and the method is expanding to new indications. Purchase and operating costs are high, and
there has been only one supplier of robotic surgery
systems in Norway. Today robot-assisted surgery is
the dominating surgical method for prostate cancer.
Despite this, the clinical effect and cost effectiveness
has not been evaluated for robot-assisted prostatectomy or other indications in a Norwegian setting.
The regional health authorities (RHF’s) have identified
a need for a strategic approach for introduction and
use of robotic surgery in Norway. The national system
for managed introduction of new health technologies
has commissioned the Norwegian institute of public
health to conduct a health technology assessment
(HTA) on robot-assisted prostatectomy.
Authors' methods:
In this HTA, we will summarize the knowledge on robot-assisted prostatectomy for prostate cancer. The
method will be compared with open surgery. We will
perform a systematic literature search in relevant databases and assess identified publications against the
inclusion criteria. Machine learning functionalities will
be used to streamline the selection process. We will
evaluate the methodological quality of the included
studies and compile the results in meta-analyses when
considered appropriate. Our confidence in the results,
including transferability to the Norwegian context, will
also be assessed. We will also conduct a health economic evaluation to evaluate utility, costs, and the severity of the disease. The work will be performed in
collaboration with clinical experts from different RHF’s
as well as user representatives.
