HEALTH

DR. BOB YOUNG »

, Sometimes the results of
surgical operations are
determined before the
operation oceurs-at least in
the statistical sense.

Various medical centers
report different success
vates for the same surgical
procedure, perhaps 70 per
cent successful at one and 90
percent effective al another.

Investigation shows that

the surgeons are equally
siciltful, the operations done
and the techniques used arc,

- to all intents and purposes,

identical and the post
operative assessment of the.
results are comparable.
Why then the different cure
rate?

A major factor is the
selection of patients-the
philosophy of the surgeontor
perhaps the hospital)
regarding who should be
operated on. If a surgeon's
indications for operating are
generous he will perhaps
operale on some paticnts
without giving them relief.
His more conservative or
discriminating colleague
may turn down patients thal
he docs not feel he can help,
bul in so doing may fail to
treat some that would
benetit.

A good example of this is
buck surgery for the
removal of a protruded, or
‘slipped ‘intervertebral disk.

Cther back conditions can
mimic this disease, even to
the point of causing the
associnted sciatica. The
results of surgery for these
other conditions are not as
good os is the case when &
protruded disk exists, so the
‘failure rate is higher.

If the surgeon's training or
personal philesophy is such
that he insists on virtually
100 per cent proof (through
x-rays and other means) that
a disk is out of place before
he operates, hig success rate
will be high.

Another surgeon's dividing

line, may te more:generous.

He will operate on some less
definite cases, helping some
but not helping others. His

_—_statisties.will._perhapa_nol. B

look as goou on a percentage
basis, but he will have cured
some patients that the first
surgeon would not have

operated on, Others will
have had an ‘unsuccessful’
operation.

Indications for surgery
become more precise as
Imowledge is gained. Until
our knowledge is complele
there will be some surgical
failures-usually in patients
whose disease cannot be
cured by surgery.
