Abstract

The large use of new gynaecological technologies such as the operative laparoscopy, requires both efficacy and efficiency evaluation. The aim of this work is to compare costs of the surgical treatment of ovarian cysts between two groups of patients - 35 patients undergone to laparotomic cystectomy (age: mean 27.5) and 34 operated by laparoscopic technique (age: mean 27) - .The analysis of the costs, related to three steps of health care (pre-operative, operative, post-operative) shows that the laparoscopic cystectomy results the more efficient intervention (L. 6,244,808 vs L. 8,310,002). This economic analysis may offer a planning tool for health care to hospital managers and represent an efficiency evaluation criterion of surgical techniques employed by the gynaecologists.
