CENTER AND PER SURGEON PER YEAR
TYPE Structural indicator (number of upfront or interval cytoreductive surgeries
DESCRIPTION performed per center).
SPECIFICATIONS Process indicator (number of surgeries per surgeon per year).
TARGET(S)
Only surgeries with an initial objective of complete cytoreduction are recorded.
SCORING RULE Exploratory endoscopies, exploratory laparotomies, or surgeries limited to tissue

hysterectomy (if applicable), and a comprehensive peritoneal staging including
omentectomy are not included.

center per year. (ii) number of cytoreductive surgeries as defined above performed
per surgeon per year. Secondary and tertiary procedures are accepted.
Denominator: not applicable.
((i) Number of surgeries performed per center per year:
● Optimal target: N ≥ 100.
● Intermediate target: N ≥ 50.
● Minimum required target: N ≥ 20
(ii) ≥ 95% of surgeries are performed or supervised by surgeons operating at least
10 patients a year.
