Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is more cost-effective than open repair, offering reduced complications and shorter hospital stays. This approach saves patients approximately 1,260€ per procedure.

Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Open ventral hernia repair is a common surgical procedure.
  • Laparoscopic surgery presents potential advantages over open repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the clinical outcomes and economic costs of open versus laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.
  • To determine the more efficient and cost-effective surgical technique.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 140 patients with primary and incisional hernias.
  • Analysis of clinical data, patient morbidity, surgical costs, and hospital stay costs.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic repair resulted in reduced patient morbidity and shorter hospital stays (P<.001).
  • Despite higher disposable supply costs, laparoscopic repair yielded a total cost saving of 1,260€ per patient (2,865€ vs. 4,125€).
