This study aimed to create a ranked list of surgical procedures for high-stakes simulation assessments in general surgery training. Using a Delphi consensus approach, a diverse group of 30 surgical trainers and a steering committee evaluated procedures based on perceived importance, risk, frequency, and feasibility. The study produced prioritized lists for two key training stages: the end of ‘phase 2’ and the end of training. A total of 21 and 16 procedures, respectively, were identified as suitable for assessment. These lists serve as a foundation for future high-stakes assessments in surgical training.
