Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Hospitals report annual procedure volume for plastic and reconstructive surgery procedures including: 

• Breast Repair or Reconstruction
• Skin graft or Reconstruction

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 hospital or surgeon volume standards.
