In the researchers' words

Robotic surgery for common surgical procedures is on the rise despite limited evidence to support its clinical benefit. We intend to to map and characterize the prevalence of the patients'expectation that robotic surgery might be superior to open or laparoscopic procedures and to identify the sociodemographic, clinical and organisational factors associated with this expectation.
