Impact of consultant operative supervision and surgical mortality in Australia.
In this study, the Australian and New Zealand Audit of Surgical Mortality evaluated the effect of operative supervision on certain post-operative outcomes in the surgical death subset. ⋯ Operative supervision in emergency setting within Australian hospitals appears to be potentially inadequate. However, the available data suggest that unsupervised surgery did not result in worse post-operative outcomes. In appropriately selected cases, the data support surgical registrars performing surgery without consultant supervision.
