Key Points Question Is undergoing robotic cancer surgery associated with lower out-of-pocket costs for patients compared with undergoing open surgery? Findings This cross-sectional study of 15 893 patients undergoing open or robotic radical prostatectomy, hysterectomy, partial colectomy, radical nephrectomy, or partial nephrectomy found that robotic surgery was associated with lower out-of-pocket costs relative to open surgery for all oncologic procedures. Meaning For the 5 procedures investigated, robotic cancer surgery may be more affordable for patients, highlighting an array of economic factors associated with the rapid adoption of this technology.
