This trial evaluates theatre efficiency in hernia surgeries, suggesting that concurrent operations may enhance patient flow and reduce costs.

The study suggests the operational viability of running two high-intensity theatres with one consultant.
Total time for Theatre One was 6 hours 39 minutes with 7 patients, and Theatre Two was 5 hours 47 minutes with 6 patients.
The approach featured an online pre-operative assessment to streamline patient flow and documentation.
Efficiency can be enhanced by expanding pre-surgery documentation; higher complexity surgeries require further evaluation.

Hurt et al. (2025) studied this question.
