The results of a prospective analysis of one year's surgery on inpatients in a busy community hospital showed that a high quality of surgery may be achieved with safety and low rates of complications. The results of a retrospective analysis of certain aspects of surgery was just as encouraging. Surgery that is performed in a community hospital is convenient for the patient, provides continuity of care by the general practitioner, and waiting list times are short. Surgical facilities can form an integral part of the comprehensive service provided by a community hospital and can lighten the caseload for minor surgery at the district general hospital. Close liaison between the two hospitals is essential.
对一家繁忙的社区医院住院患者进行的为期一年的前瞻性手术分析结果表明，手术可以在安全且并发症发生率低的情况下达到高质量。对手术某些方面进行的回顾性分析结果同样令人鼓舞。在社区医院进行手术对患者来说很方便，能让全科医生提供持续护理，而且等待名单时间较短。手术设施可以成为社区医院提供的综合服务的一个组成部分，还能减轻地区综合医院的小手术工作量。两家医院之间密切联络至关重要。
