In the past three decades, several technologies designed for other purposes, have been applied in surgery to provide more precision to the surgical procedures and better outcomes. In surgery, innovation requires evidence before widespread implementat...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the educational impact following the implementation of a robotic thoracic surgery program on cardiothoracic (CT) surgery trainees. We hypothesized that the introduction of a robotic thoracic surgery program...
OBJECTIVE: A national robotic surgery curriculum is still developing for general surgery residents as robotic surgery becomes increasingly accessible. One general surgery residency program utilized a Delphi process to optimize a robotic surgery curri...
BACKGROUND: There is a significant mortality burden associated with emergency general surgery (EGS) procedures. The objective of this study was to develop and validate the use of a machine learning approach to predict mortality following EGS.
BACKGROUND: Letters of recommendation (LoRs) play an important role in resident selection. Author language varies implicitly toward male and female applicants. We examined gender bias in LoRs written for surgical residency candidates across three dec...

PURPOSE: Learning is markedly improved with high-quality feedback, yet assuring the quality of feedback is difficult to achieve at scale. Natural language processing (NLP) algorithms may be useful in this context as they can automatically classify la...
In 2018, general surgery topped the number of robotic cases. Over 90% of residents participate, but only 65% of programs have a formal curriculum, and less than half track progress. Many are insufficient at training due to an observational role. This...
