TL;DR: Vaginal mesh was more cost-effective than robotic sacrocolpopexy even when the cost of the robot was not factored.
Abstract: Objective: To compare costs and QoL associated with 2 minimally invasive operations to treat uterovaginal prolapse. Study Design: A decision analytic cost-effectiveness model comparing vaginal mesh hysteropexy to robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy. Costs were derived from a hospital perspective. QoL estimates focused on: recurrent prolapse; erosion; infection; transfusion; cystotomy; chronic pain; lower urinary tract symptoms; and mortality. Actual procedural costs at our institution were calculated. Costs and quality adjusted life years were examined over 1 year. Results: The costs ($21,853) and QALYs (0.9645) for robotic sacrocolpopexy produced a CE Ratio of $22,657 per QALY. The costs ($14,890) and QALYs (0.9309) for vaginal mesh produced a CE Ratio of $15,995 per QALY. The incremental cost per QALYs for robotic surgery was $207,232. Sensitivity analysis on all utilities, cost estimates, and complication estimates didn’t cross any thresholds. Conclusion: Vaginal mesh was more cost-effective than robotic sacrocolpopexy even when the cost of the robot was not factored.

TL;DR: Preliminary data support lifileucel TIL as an efficacious and well-tolerated therapeutic option for patients with metastatic melanoma who have failed multiple lines of prior therapies including checkpoint inhibitors and BRAF/MEK inhibitors.
Abstract: 136Background: While immunotherapies including checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies (BRAF/MEK inhibitors) are options for patients with metastatic melanoma, many patients still develop prog...
