Abstract:
A cost-analysis study has been carried out on ambulatory surgery of inguinal hernias, in 1991, at Béziers hospital, in France. Analytical book-keeping allows to approach real costs, that is to say 3,061 FF for all medical care spending, and 2,100 FF for the hospital stay. The overall profitability of this surgery questions the urgency of its spreading within the French health care system.
