Cost-effectiveness of open versus laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy: a retrospective Markov model analysis from China
This study is the first to analyze the cost-effectiveness of OPD versus LPD in PDAC. The study indicated that LPD remains an acceptable operation with certain cost-effectiveness for pancreatic cancer patients. However, due to the low survival rates and the fact that LPD is a highly technique-dependent operation for pancreatic cancer, surgeons should keep cautious of the choice between the OPD and LPD based on the patient's expectation and financial situation.
