Minimally invasive surgery for early-stage ovarian cancer: Association between hospital surgical volume and short-term perioperative outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine trends and associated characteristics and outcomes of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for women with early-stage ovarian cancer.

Methods

The National Inpatient Sample was queried to examine early-stage ovarian cancer treated with MIS from 2001 to 2011. Annualized hospital surgical volume was defined in the unweighted model as the average number of procedures performed per year in which at least one case was performed. Trends, characteristics, and outcomes related to MIS use were assessed in the weighted model.

Results

Among 73,707 oophorectomy cases, there were 4822 (6.5%) MIS cases. Utilization of MIS increased from 3.9% to 13.5% from 2001 to 2011 (3.5-fold increase, P < 0.001), and the number of MIS-offering centers also increased from 10.6% to
