A modified exposure variable defined by surgeon's volume of complex endometriosis surgery (based on OHIP billing code) in the year prior to the index surgery was also used.</p><p><strong>Measurements: </strong>The primary outcome was the rate of re-operation within 30 days of index surgery and over the duration of follow-up in the study. Secondary outcomes were postoperative complications, the rate of infertility consults, and live birth rate following endometriosis surgery.</p><p><strong>Main results: </strong>The majority of patients (80.3%) underwent surgery with a low volume surgeon. In the 30-day post-operative period, the lowest rate of postoperative complication was noted amongst the highest volume surgeons (5.5%). There was a significantly reduced risk of complications amongst high volume surgeons compared to low volume surgeons (aHR 0.84, 95% CI 0.74 - 0.96). Higher volume surgeons tended to refer patients for fertility assessment and these patients also had higher chance of achieving a livebirth postoperatively. Patients who underwent surgery with a high volume of complex endometriosis surgeon, were less likely to undergo repeat surgery (17.8% vs. 32.9%, aHR 0.80 (0.72 - 0.88)), including all the surgery types examined.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our study suggests the majority of patients undergoing surgery for endometriosis have surgery with a low volume surgeon. Postoperative outcomes were impacted by surgeon volume, suggesting that there is a need to define criteria for surgical competency. Ongoing work to define surgeon characteristics and skills required to perform different types of endometriosis surgery is encouraged.</p>","PeriodicalId":16397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of minimally invasive gynecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143649281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
