The article claims error rates were comparable:

> However, the two approaches have comparable patient outcomes and lengths of hospital stay, the study showed.



No real error rates though, as I said, it is easy to imagine none occurred in just 28k operations.

What if the error rate was (in extremis) 1 death in 50k for non assisted and 1 death in 500k for assisted.

The extra cost might be justified on that basis.
