Intraoperative Cost Comparison of Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release With WALANT Versus MAC Anesthesia.
Background: The cost of endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) has historically been shown to be significantly higher than the cost of open carpal tunnel release (OCTR). Setting and anesthetic technique drive costs in hand surgery; ambulatory surgical center (ASC) settings demonstrate lower costs when compared to hospital-based settings and local-only anesthetic techniques demonstrate savings over general anesthesia. The purpose of this study is to compare wide awake local-only anesthesia technique (WALANT) to monitored anesthetic care (MAC) for ECTR performed in an ASC setting.
Methods: This study includes 481 ECTR under WALANT and 405 ECTR under MAC, performed between January 2019 and December 2021 in an ASC. Utilizing previously reported direct operating room costs, overhead, and material costs, we calculated a final cost for each procedure. We also report our complication rates: intraoperative conversion to OCTR and late revision to OCTR.
Results: Intraoperative times were shortest for ECTR performed under WALANT (22 min) versus ECTR under MAC (25 min). The total cost for ECTR under WALANT was most cost-effective at $1341.28 versus ECTR under MAC at $1634.00. Both techniques demonstrated a low complication profile.
Conclusions: Our intraoperative process flow, staffing model, and ASC setting resulted in cost savings making ECTR an economically feasible option.
