Authors' recommendations:
The laparoscopic-assisted resection has shown results in terms of overall survival and recurrence similar to those achieved by open surgery. The estimated cost for laparoscopic intervention is slightly higher than open surgery, but seems to accelerate the postoperative recovery time. This implies that none of the two alternatives is clearly superior to the other in terms of efficiency.
Therefore, each decision maker at hospital level will assess available human and material resources, and its cost structure to use resources more efficiently.
