Surgical patients tend to be middle-aged on average.
Men are more common to go under surgery past their 60s. Women are more common to go under surgery between the ages of 30-60
Each dot represents 5 patients that underwent some type of surgery.
Red dots represent cancer diagnoses such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, etc.. These patients represent 54% of the total patients that underwent surgery.
Blue dots represent gastrointestinal disorders such as celiac disease, Crohn's disease, hemorrhoids, etc..
Green dots represent respiratory disorders such as asthma, pneumonia, etc..
The remaining dots represent a variety of conditions, including renal and urinary disorders, cardiovascular and circulatory diseases, gynecological and reproductive health issues, endocrine and metabolic disorders, as well as other diseases and disorders.
Approximately 20% of these patients underwent emergency surgeries such as trauma, appendicitis, etc..
These emergency surgeries are performed under time pressure with patients in unstable conditions and carry a higher risk of mortality compared to planned surgeries.
Renal and Urinary Disorders have the highest proportion of emergency surgeries at 24.39%.
It is crucial to prioritize research and preventive measures in the renal and urinary disorders area. By addressing the root causes and improving early intervention strategies, we can reduce the burden of emergency surgeries and enhance patient outcomes.
Each surgery used a surgical method of either open, videoscopic, or robotic.
Surgeries for colorectal cancer typically employ either an open or videoscopic approach, depending on the patient's condition and surgical requirements.
In contrast, breast and vascular surgeries have predominantly relied on the open surgery approach, reflecting the specific technical demands and historical practices in these fields.
The robotic surgery approach, while innovative and promising, remains underutilized due to factors such as limited accessibility, high costs, and the need for specialized training and equipment.
The length of hospital stay varies depending on the length of surgery performed. Surgeries that took longer typically meant longer hospital stays, and surgeries that look less time typically meant shorter hospital stays.
