CATEGORY SCOPE

Procedure categories

Explore six plastic-surgery and six dermatology categories. Comparison results are published only after like-for-like public-information assessments are complete.

CATEGORY SCOPE

Categories are the starting point, not the final comparison unit

Procedures with different methods, products, areas or surgical scopes are not compared as one procedure. Recommendations use a narrower procedure and the same question conditions.

COMPARISON RULES

The same rules apply to every category

Procedures with different methods, products, areas or surgical scopes are not compared as one procedure. Recommendations use a narrower procedure and the same question conditions.

01

Match conditions, not just names

Compare candidates only when method, product, area and scope align.

02

Pending stays pending

Incomplete, inaccessible or conflicting evidence is not converted to zero; the total and recommendation remain pending.

03

Connect every decision to a source

Each decision links evidence for the same clinic, branch and procedure with a check date and reviewer.
