A prospective case-matched comparison of clinical and financial outcomes of open versus laparoscopic colorectal resection

Abstract: Intraoperative equipment costs are greater for laparoscopic resection than for open surgery. However, benefits can be seen in terms of quicker recovery and shorter hospital stay. Laparoscopic surgery is a financially viable alternative to open resection in selected patients.

“…At present, a major drawback of laparoscopic surgery is the use of highly specialised surgical equipment and this has burdened the technique with high operating costs [27,31,[33][34][35]. In our experience the average per-patient cost for operating instruments and devices was, indeed, significantly higher in the laparoscopic group (£1,302 vs. £589, p \ 0.0001).…”

“…Theatre occupancy time was similar, with a total theatre usage time including time of anaesthesia and surgery of 362 min vs. 366 min, respectively. Theatre usage time is considered to be a better indicator than duration of surgery (although the latter appeals better to surgeons) when studying cost effectiveness and productivity, being a reflection of both the time spent by the patient in the anaesthetic room and the duration of surgery, and therefore better reflecting the actual usage of theatre as a hospital resource [26,27]. In our department, as is best practice in the UK, patients undergoing major open surgery routinely undergo an epidural anaesthetic for postoperative pain control and are therefore routinely admitted to a high-dependency unit for postoperative care.…”

“…Além disso, o uso de materiais especializados, portanto mais caros, torna o procedimento, de maneira geral, mais custoso, o que limita sua utilização como padrão-ouro. 8 Existem diferentes variáveis que podem modificar os gastos com a cirurgia colorretal laparoscópica, dentre elas: tempo operatório, equipamento utilizado para a cirurgia, permanência hospitalar, complicações pós-operatórias, realimentação precoce, taxas de conversão, dor pós-operatória, necessidade de transfusão sanguínea, além de retorno ao trabalho associado à perda de produtividade. A maioria delas esta relacionada ao ato cirúrgico e a recuperação clínica pós-operatória.…”

“…Já Noblett e cols. 8 não observaram diferença estatística do tempo operatório, em seu estudo de efetividade clínica e financeira da laparoscopia colorretal em relação à cirurgia convencional. Muitos outros autores fizeram comparação entre os tempos cirúrgicos de procedimentos colorretais por vídeo e convencional, notando diferença estatística favorável da cirurgia convencional (Tabela 1).…”
