Longer operative times but equally safe - a propensity score-matched analysis for laparoscopic procedures in women with early-stage (r-ASRM I-II) endometriosis performed by gynecology residents compared to attending surgeons
Gynecology residents and fellows trained on the patient can safely perform surgery for early-stage endometriosis at the cost of increased operative times. Additional training options, such as surgical simulation training, should be explored to shorten learning curves, reduce the financial burden on hospitals due to prolonged operative times and counter the impending reduction in intraoperative training possibilities for residents.
