Abstract
To explore the surgical effect and cost-effectiveness of day surgery versus inpatient surgery for photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) in Chinese population. We retrospectively collected 240 patients undergoing day-surgery PVP (April 2016 to March 2018) and 156 patients undergoing inpatient-surgery PVP (May 2014 to March 2016). Differences between groups in demographics, perioperative outcomes, complications, and postoperative changes were calculated. Economical results in terms of hospital stay and relevant preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative cost were evaluated. There was no significant difference in operative time, incidence of postoperative complications, and other functional outcomes between two groups (P > 0.05), but the waiting time for admission and the hospital cost including the drug charges, bed fee, nursing fee, laboratory test, and imaging fee of day-surgery group were significantly lower than that of inpatient-surgery group (P < 0.05). Day surgery of PVP has firm and well accepted position in ambulatory surgery of urology. It could significantly reduce the waiting time for admission and hospitalization costs in BPH patients.
