The current status of surgical second opinion programs.

M L Finkel, E G McCarthy, H S Ruchlin.   

Abstract

Second opinion programs proliferated in the 1970s, and most of these were voluntary programs. Until more complete evaluations of voluntary and mandatory programs are done, it seems likely that second opinion programs will continue to be on a voluntary basis. Second opinion programs have been shown to identify potential surplus surgery and are designed to contain costs.
