OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effects of surgeon and hospital volume on perioperative morbidity and mortality in women who underwent hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. METHODS: Patients who underwent abdominal hysterectomy for endometrial cancer between 2003 and 2007 and who recorded in an inpatient, acute-care database were examined. Procedure-associated intraoperative, perioperative, and postoperative medical complications, as well as hospital readmission, length of stay, intensive care unit (ICU) use, and mortality were examined. Surgeons and hospitals were stratified into volume-based tertiles and outcomes analyzed using multivariable, generalized estimating equations. RESULTS: A total of 6,015 women were identified. After adjustment for case-mix variables and hospital volume, perioperative surgical complications (15.2% compared with 11.7%) (odds ratio [OR] 0.57; 95 confidence interval [CI] 0.38-0.85), medical complications (31.4% compared with 22.0%) (OR 0.57; 95% CI 0.37-0.88), and ICU utilization (8.9% compared with 3.5%) (OR 0.47; 95% CI 0.28-0.80) were lower in patients treated by high-volume surgeons. Surgeon volume had no independent effect on the rates of operative injury (OR 0.82; 95% CI 0.32-2.08), transfusion (OR 2.33; 95% CI 0.93-5.36), length of stay (OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.25-1.41), or readmission (OR 1.05; 95% CI 0.51-2.14). Whereas patients treated at high-volume hospitals were less likely to require ICU care (9.3% compared with 4.3%) (OR 0.44; 95% CI 025-0.77), hospital volume had no independent effect on any of the other primary outcomes of interest (P>.05 for all). CONCLUSION: Perioperative surgical complications, medical complications, and ICU requirements are lower in patients treated by high-volume surgeons. Hospital volume had little independent effect on outcomes. (Obstet Gynecol 2011; 117: 1051-9) DOI: 10.1097/AOG.0b013e31821647a0
