Laparoscopic oophorectomy is a cost-effective and safe surgical option, demonstrating reduced hospital costs and shorter hospital stays compared to laparotomy, despite a longer operative time.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Oophorectomy is a surgical procedure to remove ovaries.
  • Traditional laparotomy and newer laparoscopic techniques are used for oophorectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Compare laparoscopic oophorectomy with laparotomy-based oophorectomy.
  • Evaluate differences in total hospital cost, length of hospital stay, and operative time.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective analysis of 57 women undergoing oophorectomy between January 1992 and December 1992.
  • Procedures included 26 laparoscopic surgeries and 31 laparotomies.
  • Data collected on hospital cost, length of stay, and operative time.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic oophorectomy resulted in lower mean hospital costs ($6139 vs. $7053, p=0.02) and significantly shorter hospital stays (1.07 vs. 3.87 days, p=0.00).

  • Mean operative time was longer for laparoscopy (175.23 vs. 136.94 minutes, p=0.003).
  • No serious complications were reported; no patients in the laparoscopy group required conversion to laparotomy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic oophorectomy is a safe and effective procedure.
    • It offers significant cost-effectiveness and reduced hospital stay compared to laparotomy.
    • While operative time is longer, the benefits outweigh this drawback for suitable candidates.
