To compare the cost of conventional extracapsular cataract surgery and phacoemulsification at Flinders Medical Centre.
The costs of the two forms of cataract surgery were assessed over a 12-month period. During this period 410 cataract operations were performed.
The cataract surgery was carried out in a dedicated day surgery unit in a teaching hospital.
The direct, indirect and tangible costs were measured.
Conventional extracapsular cataract surgery with posterior chamber lens implant costs $1000.85 and phacoemulsification with lens implantation costs $1231.00.
Although conventional extracapsular surgery generates slightly lower costs than phacoemulsification, the cost difference is small. In generating these figures, some assumptions must be made and the real difference may prove to be less than this.
比较弗林德斯医疗中心常规囊外白内障手术和超声乳化白内障吸除术的成本。
在12个月的时间里评估这两种白内障手术形式的成本。在此期间共进行了410例白内障手术。
白内障手术在一家教学医院的日间专用手术单元进行。
测量直接成本、间接成本和实际成本。
常规囊外白内障摘除联合后房型人工晶状体植入术的成本为1000.85美元,超声乳化白内障吸除联合人工晶状体植入术的成本为1231.00美元。
虽然常规囊外手术产生的成本略低于超声乳化白内障吸除术,但成本差异很小。在得出这些数据时,必须做出一些假设,实际差异可能比这更小。
