A Comparison of Case Volume in Craniofacial Surgery by Plastic Surgery Residency Training Model.

Background: Plastic surgeons in the United States are trained under 2 residency training models: integrated and independent. This study analyzes the variability of craniofacial surgery cases performed both between and within training models.

Methods: Case volume data from national data reports of 5 plastic surgery resident cohorts were analyzed (2011-2015).

Longitudinal Assessment of Adult Cases Performed by Graduating Urology Residents in the United States: 2010-2018.

Introduction: This study analyzed longitudinal growth trends, intra-resident variability and adult case volume performed at the completion of urology residency training.

Methods: National case logs of urology residents graduating from 2010 to 2018 were analyzed (1,072 residents). Compound annual growth rates were calculated for case volumes in adult case categories.

The Impact of Training Pathway on Breast Surgery Cases Performed during Plastic Surgery Residency.

Background: Operative volume is a critical component of surgical resident education. This study compares reported breast surgery case volume between resident training pathways in plastic surgery.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study reviewed case logs of plastic surgery residents in the independent/combined and integrated training pathways.

Disparities in Pediatric Operative Experience during Urology Residency Training.

Objective: To understand trends in pediatric cases performed during urology residency including intraresident variability and cases performed relative to required minimums.

Materials And Methods: Case logs of urology residents graduating from 2010 to 2018 were analyzed. Temporal trends in reported pediatric case volume were assessed via ANOVA tests and calculation of compound annual growth rates (CAGRs).
