Implementation of high-intensity theatre (HIT) lists in breast reconstruction to reduce elective plastic surgery waiting times

Key Points

• Waiting times for elective surgery decreased significantly with high-intensity theatre implementation, showing promise for improved patient care.
• A reduction in waiting times by approximately 30% highlights the success of high-intensity theatre in improving operational efficiency.
• Observational analysis assessed changes in elective surgery schedules and patient outcomes, emphasizing the need for innovative interventions.
• Such findings call for broader application and further exploration of high-intensity theatre in plastic surgery settings.
