Personnel and nonpersonnel costs of seven surgical standard procedures were calculated related to the patient. Nonpersonnel costs were up to 57% below to the figures of the Ministry of Health. Personnel costs ranged from 3.2% to 30% less. The result of a patient related calculation will lead to more efficiency by changing a faulty organisation, the management of the personnel, the indication for surgical procedures and the surgical technique.
