Enhancing outcomes and accelerating learning curves in open pyeloplasty
This analysis demonstrated that surgical mentorship for junior academic surgeons facilitates early technical proficiency in pediatric open pyeloplasty, enabling them to safely achieve comparable outcomes early in their careers. These findings suggest that mentorship is key to ensuring satisfactory surgical outcomes during the initial stages of a surgeon's learning curve.
