Abstract

Pelviscopic surgery has been reported to reduce costs and recovery time for patients undergoing a variety of procedures, including oophorectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, treatment of endometriosis, and removal of adhesions, ovarian cysts and tumors. Pelviscopic surgery was performed on 21 patients undergoing oophorectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy and ovarian resection. There were no complications, and all patients had a rapid return to normal activity. The economic impact of pelviscopic surgery was compared with that of conventional surgery for patients whose records were matched by diagnosis and procedure. An average reduction of 49% in overall hospital costs was observed with pelviscopic surgery.
