Overlapping surgery – when surgeons schedule distinct procedures on different patients concurrently – has raised safety concerns but recent studies have not found significant differences in perioperative outcomes. This retrospective cohort study including over 87,000 surgical cases found that overlapping surgeries increased operative times but did not lead to increased in-hospital mortality, adverse events, or readmission rates when compared to nonoverlapping cases.
