Our data show a high rate of postoperative follow-up visits completed and low perioperative complication rates similar to those of high-income countries. Our data suggest that The Moore Surgery Center model of care offers an alternative to the short-term visiting surgical model by incorporating the local system and allows for improved follow-up, outcomes analysis, and high quality of care.
