About The Study: The findings of this study of 150,000 patients who were operated on by 2,553 surgeons in Sweden indicate that female surgeons have more favorable outcomes and operate more slowly than male surgeons in elective and acute care cholecystectomies. These results may contribute to an increased understanding of gender differences within this surgical specialty.
