“…It becomes evident that for surgeons, the quality and organization of OR is crucial for the success of surgical practice, a result already reported by Kähler et al [ 45 ]. There is a diversity of studies on the subject [ 25 , 30 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 46 , 47 ], which corroborate the results presented in this study, pointing to the need for more efficient and effective measures in the OR management.…”

“…The need for a detailed assessment of the OR practice is added to the desire to optimize it, namely through the development of algorithm models [ 36 , 38 ]. OR’s performance can benefit if there is previous recognition of the patients’ needs, a measure that is currently failing [ 37 , 39 ].…”

Quality surgical practice is a fundamental subject in health institutions, and it is important to understand the structural and organizational conditions of the operating room (OR). The present exploratory study sought to understand the motivations that underlie the choice of surgeons for the best healthcare unit to perform surgery, as well as the characteristics of those professionals regarding age, years of work experience, and sex. A questionnaire survey was administered to a convenience sample of 99 surgeons, 67.3% male and 32.7% female, aged 37 to 66 (M = 23.7; Std = 8.92). The results show that at the top of the surgeons' motivations to perform surgery is the 77.8% attributed to the human resources and equipment available and at the other extreme the 3% to the previous online visit to facilities. This study opens important clues to the development of more in-depth and comparative approaches, necessary for the continuous improvement of the healthcare provided in the context of surgical practice.
