The result showed significantly higher costs to the health care system for laparoscopicsurgery than for open surgery.
In doing so, the probability that laparoscopicsurgery might be considered cost-effective ranged from 30 percent to 80 percent.
Furthermore, laparoscopicsurgery is technically more complicated to perform, and its success may be influenced by the experience of the surgical team.
One important event associated with laparoscopicsurgery that was not modeled explicitly, owing to a lack of useable data, was the effect of conversion.
As with all laparoscopicsurgery, there is a learning curve and a long operating time may be needed initially, but this usually decreases with experience.
The information processing advantages of stereopsis could make stereoscopic displays worthwhile for laparoscopicsurgery, air traffic control, or heads-up displays used in aircraft or automobiles.
The principal scenario distinguished between laparoscopicsurgery using disposable rather than reusable equipment as this is what had been used predominantly in the three trials.
In practical terms, laparoscopic and laparoscopically assisted resections can be considered comparable as the incision sizes are relatively similar (hereafter, they are collectively known as laparoscopicsurgery).
The first assumed that laparoscopicsurgery was predominantly performed using reusable equipment (base case) and the second where predominantly disposable laparoscopic equipment was used (disposable equipment).
The patients are randomized to open or laparoscopicsurgery in the treatment of rectal cancer and the primary end point is loco-regional recurrence rate, 3 years' postoperatively.
Like laparoscopicsurgery, its applications are rapidly expanding.
