Who is studied
In consideration of the 15%-minimally invasive procedure-related morbidity rate (both with laparoscopic and robotic approach), the 5%-significativity, the 80%-study power and the 10%-non-inferiority limit, the sample size is 316 patients. Such sample size is divided in 15 patients per group (Sealed Envelope Ltd. 2012.
