Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between hospital surgical volume and perioperative outcomes for fertility-sparing trachelectomy performed for cervical cancer. METHODS: This is a population-based retrospective observational study utilizing the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2001 to 2011. Women aged ≤45 years with cervical cancer who underwent trachelectomy were included. Annualized hospital surgical volume was defined as the average number of trachelectomies a hospital performed per year in which at least one case was performed. Perioperative outcomes were assessed based on hospital surgical volume in a weighted model, specifically comparing the top-decile centers to the lower volume centers. RESULTS: There were a total of 815 trachelectomies performed at 89 centers, and 76.4% of the trachelectomy-performing centers had a minimum surgical volume of one trachelectomy per year. The top-decile group had a higher rate of lymphadenectomy performance compared to the lower volume group (96.4% versus 82.4%, odds ratio [OR] 5.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.81-11.4, P < 0.001). There was a significant inverse linear association between annualized surgical volume and the number of perioperative complications (P = 0.020). The top-decile group also had a lower rate of perioperative complications (9.7% versus 21.0%, P < 0.001) and prolonged hospital stay ≥7 days (2.0% versus 6.5%, P = 0.006) compared to the lower volume group. In a multivariable analysis, the top-decile group had a 65% relative decrease in perioperative complication risk compared to the lower volume group (adjusted-OR 0.35, 95%CI 0.20-0.59, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Fertility-sparing trachelectomy for young women with cervical cancer is a rare surgical procedure; <90 centers performed this procedure from 2001 to 2011 and most hospitals perform a small number of cases annually. Higher hospital surgical volume for trachelectomy may be associated with reduced perioperative morbidity.
