Abstract

In Japan, the only robot surgery covered by health insurance is prostatectomy. Robot surgery for pulmonary cancer has not been approved as advanced health care, and hospitals are required to set out-of-pocket fees for surgery on their own. We calculated the fee not covered by insurance to be 1.28million yen, taking into account expenses for : （1） the use of medical equipment, （2） maintenance, （3） labor costs, and （4） medical materials and drugs. Since the fees for surgery plus hospitalization are actually incurred by patients, whether or not the hospitalization fee should be included in out-of-pocket medical fees is decided by each health care institution. In any case, it is necessary to provide patients with a summary of medical fees prior to surgery. Hospitals are required to collect data on pulmonary robot surgical cases while operating the system with medical fees incurred by individual patients.
