Key result
High-volume gynecologic surgeons linked to fewer perioperative complications compared to low-volume peers.
Why the study?
Does high surgeon and hospital volume improve perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery?
Does high surgeon and hospital volume improve perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery?
This paper explores the relationship between surgical volume and outcomes in gynecologic surgery, including the potential untoward consequences of public health initiatives.

Jason D. Wright (2023) conducted a review in Gynecologic surgery. High surgical volume vs. Low surgical volume was evaluated on Perioperative complications. High-volume gynecologic surgeons are associated with lower complication rates (97 per 1,000 patients) compared to low-volume surgeons (114-137 per 1,000 patients).
