Surgeon and granuloma association: other surgeons compared to surgeon 3. Surgeon 5 had the lowest granuloma rate but performed substantially fewer procedures than the other surgeons. Surgeon 3 had the second lowest rate.
Notching and granuloma association: other surgeons compared to surgeon 2. Surgeon 5 had the lowest notching rate, but performed substantially fewer procedures than the other surgeons. Surgeon 2 had the second lowest rate.
