Since the dawning o' the 2015 ATA guidelines, a mighty shift be blowin' through the surgical realms, with more cuttin' and slicin' than a pirate’s cutlass in a tavern brawl!But lo and behold! Despite this increase in the initial lobectomies, when we be lookin' at them late reoperations, it be clear as a sunny day on the high seas – naught be changin'! Aye, the rates be as steady as a ship on calm waters, and no amount o' rum will alter that course! It be a mystery that even the saltiest sea dog could not unravel!
