In general, laparoscopic surgery tends to be more expensive than open surgery due to several factors.
The equipment required for laparoscopic surgery, such as specialized instruments, video monitors, and high-resolution cameras, can be costly.
Additionally, laparoscopic surgery often requires more advanced training and expertise from the surgical team, which can contribute to higher costs.
The benefits of laparoscopic surgery for digestive organs is remarkable; less pain, early return to home and early return to work save a lot of indirect expenses.
So at the end, the cost of laparoscopic surgery is equal or marginally higher with open surgery at the end of 3 to 6 months.
