Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is more cost-effective than delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the treatment of acute cholecystitis
Background This economic evaluation quantifies the cost-effectiveness of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) versus delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) in the management of acute cholecystitis. The two interventions were assessed in terms of outcome measures, including utilities, to derive quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) as a unit of effectiveness. This study hypothesizes that E...

متن کاملIs laparoscopic cholecystectomy cheaper?
As laparoscopic cholecystectomy is being used more and more frequently, a cost analysis was aimed to be performed to evaluate cost effectiveness in Turkey. Records of 376 patients who underwent cholecystectomy by various methods were analyzed retrospectively. Mean duration of postoperative hospital stay was 5.1 +/- 2.6 days for the open cholecystectomy group (OC group), composed of 177 patients...
متن کاملAnother look at laparoscopic laser cholecystectomy.
The bile acids in brown pigment stones and gall-bladder bile were fractionated into free acids, gly-cine and taurine conjugates, and sulfates, usingdiethylamino-hydroxypropyl-SephadexLH-20 (DEAP-LH-20)column chromatography,and were quantitatedby gas chromatography. Twenty-eight cases of brownpigment stones were studied and divided into twogroups: those wi...
متن کاملDelayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy after more than 6 weeks on easily controlled cholecystitis patients
BACKGROUNDS/AIMS There is debate on the timing of cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis. Although there is a recent trend toward early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (eLC), that is, within 72 hours of symptom onset, some surgeons still prefer delayed operations, or operations after several weeks, expecting subsidence of the inflammation and therefore a higher chance of avoiding open conversion a...
