YOUR BARIATRIC OUTCOMES, IN ONE CLEAR RECORD

Bariatric surgery is judged on the long term. The long term is exactly where surgeons lose sight of their patients.

The results that define this specialty arrive years after the operation, and so does the evidence that it worked. But follow-up attrition in bariatric surgery is severe and well documented. By five years, only a small fraction of patients are still being followed.

That is not a failure of care. It is what happens when patients feel well and life moves on. The consequence is that the surgeon with the best long-term results and the surgeon with the worst may have equally little idea which they are.

Which leaves the questions you cannot answer from memory:

Where are the patients I operated on five years ago?

What is my revision rate, and is it changing?

What would I show someone who asked me to evidence my long-term results?

WHAT ALREADY GETS MEASURED

WHAT ALREADY GETS MEASURED

The registry captures safety. It was never designed to capture durability.

Your data in real time.

Australia and New Zealand have a bariatric surgery registry with strong coverage, and it does send participating surgeons an individual report. It is built around safety and procedural data: weight, diabetes status, device, revisions, readmission and mortality.

Patient-reported outcomes are only now being piloted, follow-up thins dramatically after the first year, and a meaningful share of what is collected comes from registry staff contacting patients rather than from your clinic. Reflux after sleeve, nutritional status, quality of life and the shape of a patient’s recovery over five years are not things you can currently look up.

THE PATIENT’S VIEW

Stay connected to the outcome, after you have lost contact with the patient

PROMS sends validated surveys by SMS at intervals you choose when you set up each case, and keeps sending them after the clinic appointments stop. Patients respond from home, with no login, no form to post back and nothing for your rooms to chase.

Recovery, satisfaction and perceived change come back to your private dashboard, individually and aggregated across your practice, building the long-term picture that follow-up attrition otherwise takes away from you.

Start capturing surgical insights — in minutes.

Step 01

Start a case in seconds

Quick Case lets you or your rooms open a case and schedule its surveys in seconds. Record as much detail as you prefer.

Step 02

Follow-up runs itself

Surveys run automatically, and responses come back to you, privately.

Step 03

Review in a minute

Scan the recovery of everyone you operated on last week, and the weeks before, in under a minute.

Step 04

Reflect and act

Use what you see for your CPD, for conversations with colleagues and referrers, and for your own practice.

THE RECORD COMPOUNDS

Durability is the argument. This is how you evidence yours.

The case for an operation rests on it lasting. That is a claim about five and ten year outcomes, and it is not a claim any surgeon can make about their own practice from memory.

A surgeon who starts recording now has a decade of their own long-term data in ten years’ time. One who waits five years does not, and cannot get those years back with ease or accuracy.

• Outcome tracking and performance review
• Patient satisfaction and feedback
• Quality improvement activities

Evidence for your annual surgical audit

Surgeons are expected to audit their own practice each year and submit it for peer review, benchmarked against a standard or against peers. Patient feedback is a recognised part of reviewing your own performance. Using SurgicalPerformance produces both, from the cases you are already doing.

frequently asked questions

How can I track my bariatric surgery outcomes?

Record each case and its outcomes in one place as you operate. SurgicalPerformance captures your activity, complications and patient-reported recovery continuously, and presents them on a single private dashboard.

How do I follow patients who stop attending appointments?

Surveys are sent to your patients automatically by SMS at set intervals, and continue after routine appointments stop. Patients respond from home without a login, so contact does not depend on them returning to your rooms. With an 80% average response rate and smart design to ensure patients are not harassed, our PROMS surveys capture valuable insights well beyond the normal post-op follow up appointments.

Can I track my revision rate?

Yes. Revisional procedures are recorded alongside primary cases, so your revision rate is calculated from your own data and visible over time.

Does this replace the bariatric surgery registry?

No. The registry does important safety and procedural work. SurgicalPerformance is your own private record, focused on the longer-term and patient-reported picture that routine follow-up tends to lose, and it stays with you rather than being reported elsewhere.

Who can see my data?

Only you. Your records are not shared with your hospital, your college or your insurer, and they do not appear in any public rating. Only de-identified, aggregated data powers peer benchmarks.

Can I compare my outcomes with other bariatric surgeons?

Yes. You can benchmark your results against de-identified data from other surgeons in your specialty as our bariatric database continues to deepen, while your own data stays confidential to you.
