Description
Oluwatobi Olaiya and co-authors study what drives hospital costs after breast rebuilding surgery, in a 2026 paper. The surgery uses the patient's own tissue after mastectomy. Demand for it has risen. In a publicly funded system, its cost impact needs a clear look.
The team drew on patients treated in Ontario, Canada, from 2005 to 2020. In all, 2,634 patients had one of two tissue methods. Most had free tissue transfer, and a smaller share had a tummy flap method. Costs were counted from admission to discharge, from the hospital's view. A statistical model picked out traits tied to higher cost. Such findings help hospitals plan budgets for a growing service.
