    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Surgical Practice
    • Qualitative Research

    Background:

    • Ethical decision-making is a critical component of surgical practice.
    • Surgeon narratives offer unique insights into ethical challenges.
    • Understanding these narratives can improve patient care and surgical training.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze surgeon narratives on ethical decision-making.
    • To identify key themes and ethical dilemmas faced by surgeons.
    • To explore gaps in existing surgeon narratives on ethics.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of twelve surgeon narratives.
    • Thematic analysis to identify recurring ethical issues.
    • Comparative analysis to highlight commonalities and differences.

    Main Results:

    • Predominant themes include end-of-life care, empathy, social justice, and inter-professional disagreements.
    • Surgeons face significant ethical stress in emotionally challenging situations.
    • Identified gaps suggest a need for broader narrative collection.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgeon narratives reveal complex ethical landscapes, particularly concerning end-of-life decisions and uncertainty.
    • Addressing empathy and social justice in surgical ethics is crucial.
    • Further research is needed to fill narrative gaps and enhance ethical training.
