Systematic review and meta-analysis comparing perioperative outcomes of emergency appendectomy performed by trainee vs trained surgeon

Appendectomy is a benchmark operation for trainee progression, but this should be weighed against patient safety and perioperative outcomes. Systematic literature review and meta-analysis comparing outcomes of appendectomy performed by trainees versus trained surgeons. Of 2086 articles screened, 29...

description Appendectomy is a benchmark operation for trainee progression, but this should be weighed against patient safety and perioperative outcomes. Systematic literature review and meta-analysis comparing outcomes of appendectomy performed by trainees versus trained surgeons. Of 2086 articles screened, 29 studies reporting on 135,358 participants were analyzed. There was no difference in mortality (Odds ratio [OR] 1.08, P = 0.830), overall complications (OR 0.93, P = 0.51), or major complications (OR 0.56, P = 0.16). There was no difference in conversion from laparoscopic to open surgery (OR 0.81, P = 0.12) and in intraoperative blood loss (Mean Difference [MD] 5.58 mL, P = 0.25). Trainees had longer operating time (MD 7.61 min, P
