Influence of surgeon learning on outcomes in new ophthalmic procedures: quantified nationwide evidence in endothelial corneal transplantation
Influence of surgeon learning and inexperience in EK of clinical and statistical significance can be quantified and diminishes over time. Equivalent analyses may be feasible for novel procedures in other ophthalmology specialties and surgical training. Training programmes and nationwide advisory networks may be helpful in reducing the duration and impact of surgeon learning curves.
