Background: older adults are increasing in number and frequently seek hospital care for acute illness. This study aimed to measure the utilization and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients aged 85 and older in our hospital.
Methods: a single-site, retrospective, observational and descriptive study was performed.
Introduction: There are no quantified data on the real activity carried out by residents during the 5 years of training in the specialty of general and digestive surgery (GGS) in Spain. There are also limited data on programs in other surgical specialities, and in other countries. The aim of the study is to estimate the mean overall surgical activity by specific skill areas and by the level of complexity of the Spanish program in the specialty of GGS.

Article Synopsis
- The Spanish Association of Surgeons introduced the AEC-E-Book to evaluate residents’ healthcare, scientific, and surgical activities in a structured way.
- Data from 8 residents since 2004 showed they participated in an average of 1,514 surgeries, with a significant portion performed by them, including laparoscopic procedures.
- The AEC-E-Book facilitates ongoing assessment of residents' performance, ensuring they meet the minimum activity requirements for their training.
Article Synopsis
- Recent advancements in surgery necessitate updates in how resident physicians are trained and evaluated, focusing on both theoretical knowledge and surgical skills.
- The training program for residents encompasses clinical work, continual education, research, and performance evaluation using a computerized activity record to track progress over time.
- Introduced in 2004, this evaluation model provides objective assessments of residents' performance, facilitates comparisons among peers, and can help standardize training across different medical centers.
