Increased robotic surgery exposure during general surgery training occurs at many institutions without a formal education curriculum. Our study evaluates the current state of general surgery robotic training within programs represented by the Southwestern Surgical Congress (SWSC). A web-based survey regarding robot-assisted surgery (RAS) and genera...

With shrinking National Institute of Health support, increased clinical demands, and less time for research training during residency, the future of surgeon scientists is in jeopardy. We evaluate the role of a structured research curriculum and its association with resident academic productivity. Categorical general surgery residents who matched be...

Airborne pandemics illustrate a significant problem in training grounds. From the endocrine surgery point of view, we scrutinized the impact of Covid-19 on general surgery residency training in our university hospital. The number of endocrine procedure curves was forecasted using the expert modeler in a time series model from March to September 202...

The management of recurrent diverticulitis after initial non-operative treatment remains controversial. Recurrences after medical treatment have been described up to 36% but only 3 to 5% develop complicated disease. To investigate the effectiveness of conservative treatment during a prolonged follow-up after first episode of complicated diverticuli...

Efforts to improve surgical resident well-being could be accelerated with an improved understanding of resident job demands and resources. In this study, we sought to obtain a clearer picture of surgery resident job demands by assessing how residents distribute their time both inside and outside of the hospital. Furthermore, we aimed to elucidate r...

Robot-assisted general surgery has become increasingly common in the Australian public sector since 2003. It provides significant technical advantages compared to laparoscopic surgery. Currently, it is estimated that the learning curve for surgeons starting off with robotic surgery is complete after 15 cases. This is a retrospective case series, fo...
