The analysis of general surgery trainee cases over a decade revealed that there was a preservation of operative volume, although with changes in case distribution based on trainee level. There was an increase in cases with more than one trainee and a rise in minimally invasive surgery, accompanied by a decrease in open cases. These findings suggest that resident operative experience has evolved over time, potentially impacting trainee competency and readiness for practice.
