Costs of surgical futility in emergency laparotomy
This is the first study to report the costs of surgical futility in the emergency laparotomy setting. Futile surgery appears to cost more and require more resource than non-futile laparotomies. Further research should focus on how to better predict surgical futility, reduce inappropriate interventions and improve patient care.
