Background: Gynecologic surgeries have in general been performed in pediatric hospitals by both gynecologists and other surgical specialists. This study assessed current practices and outcomes using a national database.
Methods: Procedures performed by gynecologists in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric database (NSQIP-P) from 2012 to 2021 were reviewed and used to identify a set of common gynecologic procedures for which outcomes could be compared across specialties.
