Background:

Surgical knowledge production has shifted from individual efforts to interdisciplinary, remote research over 30 years.
Surgeons face a challenging environment for conducting research.

Purpose of the Study:

Investigate surgeon decision-making regarding research engagement.
Identify motivators, facilitators, and barriers to surgical research.

Main Methods:

Qualitative analysis of semistructured interviews with 21 academic surgeons across the US.
Exploration of experiences and opinions on remote and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Main Results:

Surgeons are motivated by internal desires to improve care and external needs for collaboration.
Social networks are key facilitators for multisite research, supported by technology.
Barriers range from individual and institutional to systemic and policy levels.

Conclusions:

Surgeons acknowledge the importance of high-quality research aligned with clinical care.
Remote and interdisciplinary collaborations enhance scientific quality and meet demands for higher evidence levels.
