Benchmarks for the durations of ambulatory surgical procedures in otolaryngology.
I undertook to determine benchmarks and variability for the surgical times associated with ambulatory otolaryngological procedures in the United States. ⋯ The surgical times for the performance of the most common otolaryngological ambulatory procedures are remarkably consistent in the United States. Given the volume and consistency of these surgical procedures, they are ideal candidates for studies of cost and efficiency.
