Overview
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the most cost effective treatment since it prevents recurrence and complications from happening in the future.
Cost-effectiveness of Therapy
- Economical therapies include laparoscopic cholecystectomy.[1][2]
- It is considered cost-effective since laparoscopic cholecystectomy removes gallstones 99% of the time and avoids the need for prolonged hospital stays, recovery time, medical costs and future intervention.
