Faculty Entrustment Associated with Resident Entrustability in Surgical Training Programs
In a cross-sectional study across 4 university-based surgical training programs, researchers used a validated tool to assess intraoperative faculty entrustment and resident entrustability behaviors. They found that faculty entrustment was positively associated with resident entrustability, and this association was consistent across the different surgical programs. The results suggest that developing faculty entrustment behaviors can enhance teaching and resident progression by promoting resident entrustability.
Closing a midline laparotomy with small, closely spaced fascial bites prevents more incisional hernias than the traditional large-bite technique, and the benefit lasts beyond two years.
Over five decades, surgery went from the most disruptive research field to the only one where papers, on average, reinforce existing ideas rather than redirect the field.
Members of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons want a say in how surgery will work beyond Earth, and robotics tops their list.
