Abstract:
Objective To compare the costs and effectiveness between the laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and the open cholecystectomy (OC). Methods Clinical data of 97 patients treated either by LC (n=41) or OC (n=56) were retrospectively reviewed. Results The hospital stay, postoperative hospital stay, hospitalization expenditure and medical incomes in Group LC and Group OC were (11.4?3.0) days and (15.1?4.2) days (t=-4.811,P=0.000), (6.1?0.9) days and (10.7?2.4) days (t=-11.673,P=0.000), (8 723.8?1 077.2) yuan and (6 423.4?1 398.4) yuan (t=8.791, P=0.000), (6 236.4?591.0) yuan and (3 426.6?683.2) yuan (t=21.162,P=0.000), respectively. There were no statistical significances between the two groups in preoperative hospital stays and occurrences of complications (t=1.684, P=0.095;?2=0.434,P=0.510). Conclusions Compared with the OC, health resources were more properly utilized but costs were higher in the LC.
