ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF VARIOUS TREATMENT AT ACUTE APPENDICITIS

Abstract

Clinical economic indicators of patients with confirmed diagnosis «acute appendicitis» are studied and analyzed: 9% of patients traditional appendectomy on McBurney-Volkovich-Dyakonov method was executed, 91% of patients had laparoscopic appendectomy. The assessment of economic efficiency of endoscopic and traditional methods of appendectomy performance was carried out with the analysis of «expense efficiency». Advantage of laparoscopic appendectomy before traditional as with clinical (shorting of the period of hospitalization of patients, depression of number of postoperative complications and need for the anesthetizing preparations), and with economic (cooperative expenses at laparoscopic appendectomy are lower, than at traditional) the points of view is shown. The presented results testify to clinical and economic feasibility of more widespread introduction of laparoscopic appendectomy in practice.
