    This study introduces a confidential peer-judgment method for surgical residents and attending surgeons. The technique effectively ranks surgical performance in diagnosis, surgery, and patient care, identifying significant differences.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Surgical Assessment
    • Healthcare Quality Improvement

    Background:

    • Evaluating surgical performance is crucial for patient safety and professional development.
    • Traditional assessment methods may face challenges in objectivity and confidentiality.
    • A need exists for reliable peer-evaluation tools in surgical training.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate a paired-comparison peer-judgment technique for surgical residents and attending surgeons.
    • To assess surgical competence across diagnostic, operative, and postoperative domains.
    • To establish a confidential and reliable method for surgical performance ranking.

    Main Methods:

    • A paired-comparison technique was employed for peer judgments among surgeons.

  • Assessments covered diagnostic ability, surgical skill, and postoperative care.
  • Confidentiality was maintained for all participants, with consistency checks for judges.

    • Main Results:

    • The peer-judgment technique produced a final ranking of surgical residents and attending surgeons.
    • Statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) in performance were identified among individuals.
    • The method also provided an assessment of each judge's consistency.

    Conclusions:

    • The paired-comparison peer-judgment technique offers a confidential and effective method for evaluating surgical performance.
    • This approach can reliably differentiate between surgeons and residents in key competency areas.
    • The findings support the use of this technique for improving surgical education and quality assessment.
