In a survey involving 440 surgeons and anesthesiologists, 55.2% of participants reported experiences of gender bias. Women faculty members, in particular, expressed the need to continually prove themselves, experienced less respect, had fewer opportunities and resources, faced more assumptions about their abilities, and felt the necessity to adjust their demeanor to connect with their teams, all compared to their male colleagues. These findings emphasize the presence of gender bias in the perioperative environment, highlighting the importance of creating a more equitable workplace.
