title: 1983 AAGL survey. Professional profile of the membership. AAGL Research and Survey Committee.
abstract: 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.
