Summary
Surgical trainees
Area of Science:
- Endocrine Surgery
- Surgical Education
Background:
- Parathyroidectomy approaches have evolved from bilateral to focused exploration.
- Surgical training in parathyroidectomy is a key area of focus.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the operative experience of surgical trainees during parathyroidectomy.
- To analyze trends in parathyroidectomy procedures.
Main Methods:
- Utilized data from the Collaborative Endocrine Surgery Quality Improvement Program (CESQIP).
- Analyzed data spanning from 2014 to 2019.
Main Results:
- Focused parathyroidectomy remained the predominant approach (54-55%).
- Trainee involvement in procedures decreased from 93% in 2014 to 74% in 2019.
- Fellow involvement significantly declined from 31% to 17%.
Conclusions:
- Resident exposure to parathyroidectomy reflects that of experienced endocrine surgeons.
- There are opportunities to enhance data collection on surgical trainee experiences in endocrine surgery.
