RVU values for each case type and the difference of the means

	OPEN	OPEN		Laparoscopic	Laparoscopic
Average	ELECTIVE	EMERGENT	Difference Mean	ELECTIVE	EMERGENT	Difference Mean
RVU BILIARY	17.54	17.45	−0.09	11.86	11.87	0.01
RVU COLORECTAL	26.01	25.7	−0.31	27.51	27.01	0.5
RVU HERNIA	9.73	10.29	0.56	9.5	11.43	1.93^*

Represents the only statistically significant difference in RVU due to small sample size for laparoscopic hernia cases
