Introduction: With shrinking National Institute of Health support, increased clinical demands, and less time for research training during residency, the future of surgeon scientists is in jeopardy. We evaluate the role of a structured research curriculum and its association with resident academic productivity.
Methods: Categorical general surgery residents who matched between 2005 and 2019 at our institution were analyzed (n = 104).
Introduction: Over the past decade, an increase has been seen in robotics used for hernia repair, specifically robotic abdominal wall reconstruction (rAWR). However, the learning curve for rAWR can be steep and presently, little is understood regarding the optimal case volume required to achieve proficiency. The aim of our study was to review skill acquisition and describe the learning curve for rAWR.

The factors hindering the surgeon's adoption of evidence-based techniques for fascial closure are poorly understood and characterized.
Methods: Using an exploratory sequential mixed methods design, we first collected 139 responses to a validated quantitative survey based on a Theoretical Domain Framework for adoption of healthcare practices.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic possessed far-reaching health implications beyond the public health impact that have yet to be fully elucidated. We hypothesized that the COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in biliary disease complexity and incidence of emergency cholecystectomy.
Methods: We reviewed our institutional experience with cholecystectomy from February 2019-February 2021, n = 912.
