Which is more expensive, minimally invasive surgery or open surgery?

Minimally invasive surgery costs more than open surgery.

Compared with ordinary surgery, minimally invasive surgery is relatively difficult to operate, with high technical content, which requires higher technical level and experience of doctors, which also increases the cost of surgery. The instruments used in minimally invasive surgery are special and disposable, which makes the cost of surgical materials relatively high, and then affects the charging price of surgery. Compared with ordinary surgery, minimally invasive surgery has better surgical effects, including less trauma, faster postoperative recovery, early discharge and relatively few surgical complications. Although the cost of minimally invasive surgery is higher than that of ordinary surgery, if economic conditions permit, choosing minimally invasive surgery will bring better therapeutic effect and postoperative experience.
