We divided hospitals into three categories based on breast cancer operation cases: low-volume hospitals (≤50 annual procedures), medium-volume hospitals (51–99 annual procedures) and high-volume hospitals (≥100 annual procedures). The medical records of 1351 subjects in 24 hospitals were investigated. We found unplanned readmission rates were significantly higher in hospitals with a lower surgical volume. From these three groups, a sample consisting of 1351 patients was created and 17 unplanned readmission cases (1.2%) were reported. Of these 17 cases, 12 (70.59%) cases were from low-volume hospitals. The present results indicate that unplanned readmission within 30 days following discharge is an important adverse outcome in breast cancer surgery.
