Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to compare the outcomes of hysterectomies performed by residents under supervision of a teaching physician with those performed by attendings alone. STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort analysis of hysterectomies performed at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center from 2004 to 2006. RESULTS: Of 159 nonteaching and 265 teaching cases, there was no significant difference in any of the surgical outcomes, except mean operating room time in minutes (94.8 [+/- 47.0] vs 107.4 [+/- 42.4]; P = .005), seromas (2.5% vs 0%; P = .02), and others (5% vs 0.8%; P = .007) in nonteaching vs teaching cases, respectively. The demographics and comorbidities were similar. The mean operating room time difference of 13 minutes was not clinically significant. CONCLUSION: Although teaching hysterectomies take a bit longer to perform, there were no greater adverse outcomes.
