This study aim to analyze cost-effectiveness of robot-assisted surgery compared to open surgery for partial nephrectomy in the context of renal tumor. A total of 400 patients were recruited in two centers in France corresponding to Reims(n=200) and Nancy hospital center (n=200). Patients recruited in Reims are corresponding to open surgery strategy, while patients of Nancy center are corresponding to robot-assisted surgery. Costs analyzed included cost of intervention, hospital stay and complications. Effectiveness measure is corresponding to the rate of patients without acute complication at one year.
