Overlapping surgery in otolaryngology does not increase complications or negatively impact patient outcomes. This study found no significant differences in safety or functional results between overlapping and non-overlapping surgical procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Efficiency
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Staggered surgical procedures between two operating rooms can enhance efficiency by reducing turnover time.
  • The practice of overlapping surgery may increase surgeon fatigue.
  • Evidence supporting the safety of overlapping surgery in otolaryngology is limited, with no studies comparing outcomes for a single surgeon under controlled conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of overlapping surgery in otolaryngologic procedures.
  • To compare surgical outcomes between overlapping and non-overlapping surgery performed by the same surgical team.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of adult patients undergoing otolaryngologic surgery (June 2013-March 2016).
  • Comparison of outcomes between overlapping surgery (n=346) and non-overlapping surgery (n=150) performed by the same surgeon and team.

  • Assessment of surgical complications, duration, time-in-room, readmission, emergency visits, reoperation, mortality, and patient satisfaction.

    • Main Results:

    • Overlapping surgery was associated with increased time-in-room but not surgery duration.
    • No significant differences were observed in complication rates, hospital readmissions, emergency department visits, reoperations, mortality, or patient satisfaction between the two cohorts.
    • A total of 496 surgeries were analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • Overlapping surgery is a safe practice for otolaryngologic procedures.
    • Patient safety and functional outcomes are not compromised by overlapping surgery in voice or ear surgery.
    • The study provides evidence supporting the safety of overlapping surgical techniques in otolaryngology.
