A state-wide survey of index pediatric surgical conditions.

Abstract:

:A statewide survey of pediatric surgery was sponsored by the Connecticut Society of American Board Surgeons to determine the general surgeons attitudes about performing routine and complex pediatric surgery, the absolute volume of index pediatric surgical conditions in the state, and the proportion treated by pediatric and nonpediatric surgeons. The incidence of index conditions studied was very similar to those previously reported. Approximately one half of all index cases were treated by nonpediatric surgeons, indicating that the number of pediatric surgeons could be increased, and possibly doubled, if all index procedures were performed by pediatric surgeons. Two-thirds of responding surgeons recognized the need for a regional neonatal surgical center. Regional or statewise surveys of index surgical conditions are recommended to determine regional manpower needs.
