Is Laparoscopic Colectomy for Cancer Cost-Effective Relative to Open Colectomy?
ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2007Background: Laparoscopic‐assisted colectomy (LAC) for cancer has been shown to be safe, with equivalent long‐term survival rates to conventional open colectomy (OC) and better short‐term patient outcomes. However, LAC tends to require more operating theatre time and disposable equipment. This study investigated, in the context of the New Zealand public

Laparoscopic Assisted Colectomies Versus Open Colectomy
Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1995Minimally invasive techniques are having an impact on a variety of surgical procedures. Before their widespread acceptance as the standard of care, studies need to document their efficacy in comparison to open techniques. This study compared 25 laparoscopic-assisted colectomies to 25 open colectomies all performed within the last five years by the same

Is laparoscopic colectomy as cost beneficial as open colectomy?
ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2009AbstractBackground: Laparoscopic colectomy has yet to gain widespread acceptance in cost‐conscious health‐care institutions.

Laparoscopic Colectomy vs. Open Colectomy For Sigmoid Diverticular Disease
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 2002The feasibility of laparoscopic colectomy for colon surgery has now been well established. Most of the studies on laparoscopic colectomies include all types of colonic pathologies without discrimination. Our goal was to compare laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy open sigmoid colectomy for simple sigmoid diverticular disease, to assess whether it can be ...

Annals of Surgical Oncology, 2014
Minimally invasive colon surgery (MIS) has been shown to minimize pain and decrease overall recovery time. No studies have shown a clear oncologic benefit. Some literature suggests that the time to administration of chemotherapy can be important to improve outcomes for advanced colon cancer. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of minimally

Cytokine and Hormonal Responses in Laparoscopic-Assisted Colectomy and Conventional Open Colectomy
Surgery Today, 2000Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important mediator of the acute phase response and a sensitive marker of tissue damage. This study was conducted to investigate the fluctuation of serum cytokine and hormonal levels during the perioperative period after laparoscopic-assisted colectomy (LAC), and the data were compared with those after conventional open ...

Cost Comparison Between Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Colectomy and Open Colectomy
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2012Our aim was to compare the costs associated with hand-assisted laparoscopic colectomy (HALC) and open colectomy (OC).The data of patients who underwent either HALC or OC between March 2009 and August 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. The assessed short-term outcomes included operative time, blood lost, retrieved lymph nodes, conversion rates, and ...
