Neurosurgeons Publish Op-Ed on Overlapping Surgeries

On July 29, The Hill published an op-ed by Anthony M. DiGiorgio, DO, MHA, and Richard P. Menger, MD, MPA, titled “How ‘overlapping’ surgery helps patients.” The authors state how overlapping surgery helps patients and improves access to surgical care. A study published by Dr. DiGiorgio noted that patients who were able to have surgery in an overlapping fashion had a shorter wait time for surgery and a shorter hospital stay.
