A comprehensive study involving over a million operations performed by 14,399 surgeons reveals a concerning trend: early career surgeons, especially those in their first year of practice, have higher mortality and severe complication rates compared to their peers in their 15th year of practice. This research underscores the need for additional support and training for newly graduated surgeons to ensure the best patient outcomes. The results indicated significantly increased risks for both mortality and complications across 26 core surgical procedures.
