Notes: Only invasive, therapeutic surgeries that are performed and reliably reported in the hospital-based ambulatory surgery setting were included. Body systems are based on Clinical Classifications Software (CCS) and Clinical Classifications Software for Services and Procedures. Gastric bypass and volume reduction, which is not classified by the CCS, has been included with the digestive body system. Percentage of surgical visits or stays is calculated using unrounded data.
