    General surgeons work long hours but have modest operative workloads compared to other specialists. The study concludes there is an adequate supply of general surgeons to meet consultant needs.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Workforce Analysis
    • Medical Economics
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Understanding the work characteristics of general surgeons is crucial for effective healthcare workforce planning.
    • Previous studies have not comprehensively analyzed general surgeon workload relative to other specialties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the work characteristics, including hours and operative workload, of general surgeons.
    • To compare general surgeons' workload with that of other surgical specialties within a national study.
    • To assess the adequacy of the general surgeon supply relative to demand for consultant services.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from a national study on surgeon manpower.
    • Comparison of working hours and operative case volumes across ten surgical specialties.

  • Evaluation of the relationship between surgeon supply and the need for consultant services.

    • Main Results:

    • General surgeons report longer working hours compared to many other surgical specialists.
    • Their operative workloads, while substantial, rank moderately (fourth) among the ten specialties.
    • General surgeons' workloads are considerably less than those of high-volume specialties like thoracic surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • The current supply of general surgeons is sufficient to meet the demand for consultant-level care.
    • Despite long hours, the operative volume does not indicate a shortage of general surgeons.
    • Healthcare workforce planning should consider both working hours and operative case distribution.
