The surgical learning curve for reoperative surgery required after implantation of AUS. Predicted probability (solid) and 95% confidence intervals (dashed) of reoperative surgery at 5 years after original device implantation are plotted against surgeon experience. Probabilities are given for a typical patient, i.e. Average age and US residency. Includes only surgeons with full case history (defined as at least one of the first 10 cases on record). The overlaying density plot shows the distribution of patients by surgeon experience in a contemporary cohort (treated between 2000 and 2008).
