For surgeons, this requires demonstration of clinical superiority that is both significant and durable compared with nonsurgical management and/or with other forms of surgical treatment. Value concepts such as the cost per quality-adjusted life year allow for more objective comparisons of treatment both for the same condition and for different conditions across a variety of disciplines.
