1983 AAGL survey. Professional profile of the membership. AAGL Research and Survey Committee.
The average AAGL physician does general obstetrics and gynecology, with 135 deliveries, 41 hysterectomies and 38 IUD insertions a year in addition to about 50 laparoscopies for sterilization and 43 for diagnosis. About 1 in 10 will experience a major complication, and 1 in 25 will undergo medicolegal actions, although their complication rates as a group are no higher than those of the total membership.
