How can I access survival rates for certain types of surgery?
The rates of survival for patients who have had certain types of heart surgery at different surgical units across the UK can be found on the heart surgery website. This website also includes data on the proportion of operations performed by individual cardiac surgeons together with survival rates. Survival rates have not yet been published for other types of surgery. Dr Foster, a service set up in collaboration with the Department of Health, give information about the availability and performance of local NHS and private healthcare services. Dr Foster aims to help explain what choices you have and how best to use them.
