It is well-known that any pair of closed orientable 3-manifolds are related
by a finite sequence of Dehn surgeries on knots. Furthermore Kawauchi showed
that such knots can be taken to be hyperbolic. In this article, we consider the
minimal length of such sequences connecting a pair of 3-manifolds, in
particular, a pair of lens spaces.
