Over the past fifty years, the proportion of female surgeons is steadily increasing in most developed countries, which is good in terms of quality. According to a large-scale study conducted by the University of Toronto, the mortality rate of patients who underwent surgeries by female surgeons was about 12% lower during post-surgery recovery (30 days). The study was conducted on 104630 patients who underwent surgery between 2007 and 2015 and were then categorized to exclude variables that may affect the results such as age, sex, and financial income. As for surgeons, they were classified according to age, experience, the number of operations conducted, as well as the hospitals in which they have worked.
Having taken these variables into account, researchers found that female surgeons were better at preserving their patients' lives during the next months of recovery. "The difference between them may be the way medical attention is provided, although there is little research on differences in learning patterns and skills acquisition," said Dr. Rajwi Stkensfam. According to the researchers: males and females practice medicine differently, although they are research on differences in learning patterns, skills acquisition, or results of male and female surgeons.
They added: "We do not know the mechanism that leads to better outcomes regarding patients treated by female surgeons, although this may be related to the way they provide care, which is more consistent with guidelines, or because of treatment based on the patient's condition including transmission of large information.
In addition, the research published in the British Medical Journal found that the number of patients who had been re-admitted to hospital after undergoing surgery by a female surgeon was lower, as well as the number of patients who suffered postoperative complications during the previous period although this was not a major statistical difference. The specialty of surgery still suffers from subconscious bias between patients and health professionals. This study helps to combat the existing bias in proving the safety, skill, and experience of female surgeons compared to male surgeons.
