This statistic displays the total number of hospital stays in the United States for most common operating room procedures performed in 2012, among uninsured patients. During this time, there were 33,400 total stays with an appendectomy performed for patients without health insurance. Approximately two-thirds of hospitalizations include some form of procedure, although many, like blood transfusions or vaccinations, can be done outside of operating rooms. Costs for hospitalizations with operating room procedures are often much more costly than those without.
