Cost-effectiveness Analysis and Case-based Payment Norm Modeling on Appendicitis Patients at Hanoi Medical University Hospital
Sponsor: Hanoi Medical University
Summary
In the world, there are several studies comparing the cost-effectiveness between laparoscopic appendectomy and open appendectomy. But in Vietnam, health economics studies for acute appendicitis surgery in general and laparoscopic appendectomy in particular has hardly been available, and in the context of reform of the financial mechanism for payment, questions about the cost-effectiveness between the two surgical methods are particularly concerned. Therefore, we conducted a study "Cost-effectiveness analysis and case-based payment norm modeling in patients with appendectomy at Hanoi Medical University Hospital"

Laparoscopic appendectomy
The laparoscopic appendectomy was performed with three trocars. Pneumoperitoneum was created using an open Hasson technique. The mesoappendix was divided using a harmonic scalpel or endoscopic tissue fusion device. The appendix was divided by placing one endoscopic loop and cut with harmonic scalpel. The specimen was removed through the umbilical port.
Open appendectomy
The open appendectomy was carried out in the standard way with McBurney muscle splitting incision.
