The aim of this study was to determine if the experience of general surgery residents is adequate and effective. The Resident Statistic Summaries (Report C) of the Residence Review Committee (Surgery) for eight academic years from 1986 to 1994 were analyzed. The main outcome measurements were total number of residents and programs, average number of operations performed, maximum number of operations performed, standard deviation, and the most common number of operations performed. For adrenalectomy, the average per resident was 0.98. The maximum range was from 7 to 15. The standard deviations ranged from 1.12 to 2.00. For pancreatic endocrine operations the average per resident was 0.15 with maximums of 3 to 10. For other endocrine procedures (nonthyroid and nonparathyroid) the average per resident was 0.14, with the maximums ranging from 7 to 19. The most common number of any of these procedures performed by U.S. graduates was 0. The number of adrenal, endocrine pancreas, and other less common endocrine procedures available for graduates of U.S. residency training programs is limited. As a consequence, most U.S. resident graduates have little or no experience with any of these procedures. Our findings suggest a strong need for fellowship training for any surgeon hoping to develop expertise in the management of these unusual and infrequent endocrine surgical diseases.
