To compare turnover times for a series of elective cases with surgeons following themselves to turnover times for a series of previously scheduled, elective procedures where the following surgeon differed from the preceding surgeon. We also considered the effect of changing procedure types and the time of day on turnover time. Retrospective, cohort study. University-affiliated teaching hospital. We used the operating room statistical database to gather 32 months of turnover data from a large academic institution. Turnover time data for the same-surgeon and surgeon-swap groups were batched by month to minimize autocorrelation and achieve data normalization. A two-way ANOVA using the monthly batched data was performed with surgeon swapping and changes in procedure category as variables of turnover time. Similar analyses were performed using individual surgical services and using hourly time intervals during the surgical day as additional covariates to surgeon swapping. The mean (95% confidence interval) same-surgeon turnover time was 43.6 (43.2 – 44.0) min versus 51.0 (50.5 – 51.6) min for a planned surgeon swap (p < 0.0001). This resulted in a difference (95% confidence interval) of 7.4 (6.8 – 8.1) min. The exact increase in turnover time was dependent on surgical service, change in subsequent procedure type, time of day when the turnover occurred, and turnover frequency per OR. The investigated institution averages 2.5 cases per OR per day. The cumulative additional turnover time (far less than one hour per operating room per day) for switching surgeons definitely does not allow the addition of another elective procedure if the difference could be eliminated. A flexible scheduling policy allowing surgeon swapping rather than requiring full blocks incurs minimal additional staffed time during the OR day while allowing the schedule to be filled with available elective cases.
