Background: Robotic surgery has been proposed as an approach to mitigate open surgery, which is associated with increased morbidity and worse outcomes when compared to minimally invasive cholecystectomies. The study objective was to determine the effect on conversion rates and outcomes following the adoption of robotic surgery for benign gallbladder disease in a high-risk population.
Methods: Patients ≥ 18 years of age who underwent cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder disease from January 1, 2013 to April 18, 2025 at a Veterans Affairs hospital were retrospectively identified.
