Patients treated by female surgeons have a better chance of effective recovery and are less likely to die.
That’s according to a new study that raises more questions about the underlying causes.
A recent study of more than 1 million people published in the journal JAMA Surgery found that female surgeons were Surgery Adverse outcomes are less likely at 90 days and one year after
11 lakh 65 thousand 711 patients were treated in this study, 1 lakh 51 thousand 54 patients were treated by female surgeons and 10 lakh 14 thousand six hundred 57 patients were treated by male surgeons.
According to the researchers, including researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada, these findings depend on the gender of the doctors Patients validate the difference in treatment outcomes.
Another study recently published in the same journal examined patient recovery outcomes after routine gallstone removal, and found that female surgeons outperformed male surgeons in the field. performed better than average.
It found that female surgeons had ‘more favorable results’ and ‘worked more slowly’ during the stone removal process than male surgeons.
Martin Almqvist, a surgeon at Scania University Hospital in Sweden, says the difference may be due to different risk-taking attitudes between men and women.

Dr Almquist says the difference in observation may also be due to the surgeon’s ability to collaborate with others and be ‘patient-focused’ when making decisions.
“Evidence suggests that female surgeons are more likely to make patient-centered decision-making, are more willing to cooperate, and are more careful in selecting patients for surgery,” they wrote. Takes
‘This difference may have different consequences for female and male surgeons.’
“When it comes to achieving consistently good patient outcomes, precision and caution are potentially more important than risk-taking and speed,” says Dr. Almquist.
Both studies in the journal JAMA Surgery found that female surgeons may take longer to complete surgeries than male surgeons, using a more systematic approach.
The scientists hope that further examination of such differences between male and female surgeons may shed light on ways to avoid adverse outcomes.
The findings are also an important step in evaluating the implications of diversifying operations in health care delivery, he said.
