General Surgery
Surgery centers report annual procedure volume for general surgery procedures including:
- Cholecystectomy and Common Duct Exploration
- Hemorrhoid Procedure
- Inguinal and Femoral Hernia Repair
- Laparoscopy
- Lumpectomy or Quadrantectomy of Breast
- Mastectomy
- Other Hernia Repair
Experts agree that patients often have better outcomes when their procedure is performed by a surgeon and surgical teams with adequate, ongoing experience performing a particular procedure. However, Leapfrog has not yet established minimum surgery center or surgeon volume standards.
