Surgical procedures in otolaryngology have a high demand, with most of these surgeries concentrated in the Southeast region. In addition, these procedures have a high rate of cancellations and delays, causing waiting lines, these factors cause in different ways, an increase in the morbidity and mortality rate of these individuals. This study aims to assess the rate of surgical hospitalizations and mortality in otolaryngology services in Brazil, from 2011 to 2021. This is a quantitative, cross-sectional and retrospective study with data from the SUS hospital information system on admissions and mortality rate from otorhinolaryngological procedures in the period from March 2011 to March 2021. The main variables refer to hospitalizations, mortality, socioeconomic and demographic conditions (GINI and HDI). For data analysis, with a significance level of 95% (p<0.05), Spearman's Correlation was performed using the IBM® SPSS® Statistics program, and tabulation was performed using Microsoft Excel®. As the largest number of procedures occurred in São Paulo (806), the highest mortality rate was recorded in the state of Maranhão (13.64), and it was found that there is a significant moderate positive correlation between hospitalizations with the HDI and number of physicians, as well as a moderate negative correlation with the GINI, that is, the lower this indicator, the greater the number of admissions. Therefore, the study raises the need for future work specifically on the topic of otorhinolaryngological surgeries, especially in determining the factors that lead to an increase in morbidity and mortality in each type of procedure.
