Morbidity of urologic surgical procedures: an analysis of rates, risk factors, and outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To quantify national complication rates, perioperative outcomes, and predictors for a broad range of urologic procedures to demonstrate background rates and discuss benchmarking.

Methods

Urologic procedures from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2006-2011) were analyzed to identify 30-day rates of 21 complications; outcomes (length of stay, reoperation, and death); and predictors including resident involvement for 18 specific procedures. Multivariate logistic regression models assessed predictors for any complication and for Clavien grade IV or V complication.

Results

A total of 39,700 procedures were included with abdominopelvic operations more morbid than endoscopic, scrotal, incontinence, or prolapse procedures. Cystectomy had the highest
