## What is not here

Public hospitals only. Private hospitals do not report to this collection, so their waiting times cannot be compared here.

Waiting times differ across state borders, and a referral can cross one — [read what that means](https://surgerywaits.au/guides/referral-to-another-hospital/). Compare with [every other state](https://surgerywaits.au/surgery/salpingo-oophorectomy-oophorectomy-ovarian-cystectomy/), or see [every surgery reported in South Australia](https://surgerywaits.au/state/sa/).
