Surgery that is useless and ineffective is considered unnecessary surgery. The subjective perspective of patients does not allow for its quantification or evaluation. An unnecessary surgery is one that either does not benefit the patient or provides such minimal benefits that are far outweighed by the costs in terms of risk, morbidity, disability and pain.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9,10</span></a> Unnecessary surgery is not evaluated by its results or potential postoperative complications but must instead be analyzed from its evidence-based indication and after an informed decision by the patient, who gives consent.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The interest in this topic is based on the fact that it represents a break in the ethical principles of the patient-surgeon relationship, in which self-interest takes precedence over altruism. Bevan highlighted that the two most serious problems facing Surgery are unnecessary surgeries and procedures performed by incompetent surgeons.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> Unnecessary surgery is not evaluated based on results, as complications are inherent to any surgical procedure and considering that the global postoperative complication rate can reach 25%.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a></p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Crile made a distinction between appropriate and inappropriate procedures, the latter being classified as: a) operations inappropriate for the disease; b) operations inappropriate for a given patient; and c) operations appropriate for the disease and the patient, but performed by a surgeon who has not been adequately trained.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> In 1974, McCarthy presented before the US Congress the results of the First Second Opinion Program, reporting 17.6% of indications for surgery had not been endorsed or confirmed.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> Extrapolating his findings to the entire US population, it could be estimated that there were, at that time, about 2.4 million unnecessary operations performed annually, resulting in an approximate cost of $3.9 billion and some 11,900 deaths.

For instance, several clinical trials have shown that spinal fusion surgery for lower back pain has not achieved optimal long-term results compared to less invasive therapies.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> Knee arthroscopy is a very common operation and does not always achieve the desired results,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> and the same holds true for arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. The Fidelity study, after comparing the results of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy versus placebo surgery, found no relevant benefits over 12 months of follow-up.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> Similar conclusions were reported by Marsh in Canada.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a></p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Video-assisted colonoscopies performed in patients outside the recommended age range or at shorter intervals than indicated has been reported in 17%–25.7% of cases.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> The Ischemia study, with the support of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the USA, demonstrated that invasive treatment does not reduce 4-year mortality in coronary heart disease.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> Between 2007 and 2015, the proportion of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators that did not meet the Medicare National Coverage (MNC) criteria was 25.8%, which then dropped by more than 15% after the intervention of the US Department of Justice.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a> Flum and Koepsell called attention to the incidence of negative appendectomies, defined as the non-incidental excision of a normal cecal appendix.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0115"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span></a> The management of localized prostate cancer has also been subject to critical analysis, as noted in a study by the US Veterans Administration, with an unjustified increase in radical surgeries.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a></p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The rates of use and the eventual overuse or over-indication of certain procedures should be a wake-up call for detailed analysis of the underlying circumstances.

Several reasons may justify performing unnecessary procedures, including uncertainty, social factors, responding to pressure from patients to undergo procedures with doubtful results, use and customs, which in part may explain the differences in usage rates and remuneration systems.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></a> Payment per service can also encourage this practice in the same way as the overuse of surgical procedures.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Basically, unnecessary surgery arises from three recognized causes: ignorance, incorrect judgment, or dishonesty (which would encompass incompetence, indifference, or immorality). From these three, the ethical and medico-legal implications of a procedure that is not supported or justified by scientific evidence clearly emerge.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">28</span></a> Monitoring, supervision and auditing systems should be promoting within medical institutions at a general level. Professional associations must advocate for transparent policies and therapeutic decisions based on scientific evidence as well as good clinical practice guidelines, which should be adjusted for each hospital setting.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In this manner, medical associations should promote the ethics of competence in the style proposed by Arnau de Vilanova (1238–1311) and Richard Cabot (1868–1939), while likewise remembering the proposals by Engelbert Dunphy in his presidential speech upon assuming leadership of the American College of Surgeons in 1963: “Surgeons have a collective responsibility to seek benefits for humanity. The autonomy of the individual surgeon is conditional, since society agrees with surgeons that they will act for the benefit of humanity. Hence the importance of a central authority that ensures compliance with professional standards, which represent the core of Ethics in Surgery”.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0145"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">29</span></a></p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Sources of funding</span><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">None.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0010">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">None.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:3 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Sources of funding" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Conflicts of interest" ] 2 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "NotaPie" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "etiqueta" => "☆" "nota" => "<p class="elsevierStyleNotepara" id="npar0005">Please cite this article as: Ferreres AR.
