AbstractThere is an increasing trend towards dual surgeon operating in complex surgeries in various specialties. This is driven by regionalisation of services, increasing complexity of surgical procedures, the ageing population and challenges imposed by changes in surgical training. Dual surgeon cases have lower complication rates and better quality of patient care. This practice not only facilitates professional and personal development, but also provides valuable support to surgeons in the early part of their career. There is a paucity of literature to support this practice, however, and prospective studies are required to demonstrate the benefit of this approach.
