“…These studies have looked at a wide variety of procedures and outcomes, using metrics such as length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, 30-day mortality, operation success, and health care costs. 5,6,14 The factors that contribute to a successful operation are numerous and interrelated, such that high volume centers develop experience that translates to shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and lower overall health care costs. 5 Other proposed benefits include increased technical skills of surgeons, proficiency of ancillary operating room staff, and improved postoperative management.…”
