Περίληψη: To improve the quality of cancer operations, the American College of Surgeons published Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery, which has been incorporated into Commission on Cancer (CoC) accreditation requirements. We sought to determine if compliance with operative standards was associated with technical surgical outcomes. Oncologic operative reports from 2017 at a CoC and non-CoC institution were examined for documentation of Operative Standards essential steps. Lymph node (LN) yield for lung and colon cases and re-excision rates for breast cases were recorded. Correct documentation was poor for colon, breast, and lung cases with numerous elements documented in <10% of operative reports at both centers. For lung cases, there was no significant difference in meeting ≥10 LN benchmark or average LN yield between the 2 institutions. For colon cases, average lymph node yield was lower in the non-CoC facility, but there was no significant difference in meeting ≥12 LN benchmark. For breast cases, re-excision rates were similar in both programs. Many essential steps in Operative Standards were poorly documented in operative reports, regardless of CoC status. Achieving benchmark technical surgical outcomes was not associated with documented compliance with these standards. Whether improved documentation leads to better surgical outcomes requires further investigation.
