[Economic advantages of celioscopic treatment of extra-uterine pregnancy].
Laparoscopic surgery has numerous advantages over laparotomy in the treatment of some benign gynaecological conditions and in particular those connected with reproduction. Laparoscopic surgery in ectopic pregnancy seems to be a good example of a condition in which the cost/efficiency ratio can be improved. In 109 cases the mean length of hospital stay was reduced by 4.23 days per case. This led to a saving of 8,954 francs. The mean time off work after operation was reduced by 22 days per patient. This is a considerable economic saving for the population because the numbers ectopic pregnancies have risen considerably.
