    ¡¾Abstract¡¿ AIM: To search the effects of several injections of insulin and insulin pump on the total hospitalization expenses of type 2 diabetics undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS: Totally 147 cases of type 2 diabeties who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy from January 2002 to January 2005 in our endoscopic surgery were divided into A and B groups: group A was treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CS¢ò) using insulin pump, and group B was with multiple subcutaneous insulin injection (MS¢ò).The each expense item of diabetics¬ð hospitalization was observed and analyzed statistically. RESULTS: The operation expenses of group A were lower than those of group B (P<0.05). The postoperation expenses of group A were lower than those of group B (P<0.05). The total hospitalization expenses of group A and B had no significant differences(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Using insulin pump can shorten the expenses of preoperation and postoperation. But the total hospitalization expenses would not increase because the using of insulin pump can decrease the length of stay. ......
