Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety, cost, and patient satisfaction of ambulatory laparo-scopic cholecystectomy(ALC). Methods The clinical data of patients who divided into ALC group(678 cases) and in-patient laparoscopic cholecystectomy(IPLC) group(1 534 cases) in our hospital from April 2011 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The operative time, conversion rate, complication rate, hospitalization time, cost of hospi-talization, rehospitalization rate, and patient satisfaction were analyzed and evaluated. Results There were no significant differences of the operative time, postoperative complication rate, and rehospitalization rate between the 2 groups(P > 0.05). The conversion rate(0.44%), and hospitalization time[(1.2±0.5)d] of the ALC group were significantly lower or shorter than those of IPLC group[3.19%, (4.8±1.3) d], P < 0.05. The direct, indirect health care costs, and the total costs of the ALC group were (6 555.6±738.7), (230.0±48.0), and (8 856.0±636.0) yuan, respec-tively; and lower than those of the IPLC group[(7 863.71, 014.6), (973.0±136.5), and(8 856.0±636.0)yuan], P < 0.05. Conclusion ALC is safe and feasible, and could shorten the hospitalization time, lower the medical cost, speed up the bed turnover, and increase the efficiency in the use of health resource.
