title: [Evaluation of cost of laparoscopic surgery in gynecology].
abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate hospital and postoperative costs associated with gynecologic laparoscopic surgery for benign pathologies. Hospital costs were broken down into several categories: operating room, postoperative hospitalization, pharmacy, surgical instruments, sterilization of reused equipment, food and laundry, indirect costs. The mean total costs for the hospitalization time were 8547,2 francs. Medical charges in recovery time were calculated with the help of the Social Security. These charges represented less than 5% of the total cost associated with the procedure.
