Background and Aim:The distribution of board-certified pediatric surgeons (BCPSs) in Japan is highly biased. While PrefectureMhas one of the smallest numbers of BCPSs per pediatric population, neighboring PrefectureKhas one of the largest numbers of BCPSs per pediatric population. We examined the effect of BCPSs population on laparoscopic surgery and postoperative management and outcomes.Materials and Methods:We compared postoperative duration to full-dose enteral nutrition, postoperative hospital stay, and complications of neurologically impaired patients who underwent laparoscopic fundoplication in two prefectures from 2006 to 2019.Results:Laparoscopic fundoplication was performed in 17 patients in PrefectureMand 63 inK. The mean operative time was 248.8 ± 79.9 minutes in PrefectureMand 260.8 ± 94.8 inK(P= .64). The median number of days to full-dose enteral nutrition was 11.5 in PrefectureMand 10 inK(P= .29). The median postoperative hospital stay was 14 days in PrefectureMand 15 days inK(P= .38). Postoperative complications occurred in 7 cases in PrefectureMand in 10 inK. The incidence was significantly higher in PrefectureMthan inK(P= .041).Conclusion:Areas with insufficient numbers of BCPSs have a higher risk of complications in laparoscopic surgery than areas with sufficient numbers.
