TL;DR
Surgical trainees' participation in common surgical procedures is associated with an increase in total operative time, with no difference between trainee seniority levels, which may be significant in assessing the impact of residency training programs on hospital efficiency.
Abstract
Surgical trainees' participation in common surgical procedures is associated with an increase in total operative time, with no difference between trainee seniority levels. This finding may be significant in assessing the impact of residency training programs on hospital efficiency.
