Kidney Transplantation Anastomotic Time Is Jointly Associated With Resident and Attending Experience.
The Journal of surgical research(2024)
摘要
INTRODUCTION:Few studies evaluate the interplay of attending and resident learning curves in surgical education. Anastomotic time is known to be correlated with transplant outcomes in kidney transplantation. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between the combination of resident and attending experience and anastomotic time in kidney transplantation.
METHODS:We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of deceased donor kidney transplants from 2006 to 2019. To analyze the effect of attending and resident experience, dyads were classified as six combinations of early versus later practice attending and resident postgraduate year (PGY-2, PGY-3, and PGY-4/5). Attendings with less than 3 y of postfellowship practice were considered early practice. Linear mixed effects models tested the effects of attending experience, resident PGY, recipient body mass index, and technical operative characteristics (number of donor arteries, operative side) on anastomosis time.
RESULTS:The final linear mixed effects model included 1306 transplants. Compared to later practice attendings with PGY-4/5 residents as reference, early practice attendings paired with PGY-2 or PGY-3 residents had longer anastomotic times (P ≤ 0.005) when adjusted for recipient body mass index, number of donor arteries, and transplant side. When PGY-4/5 residents were paired with early practice attendings, no difference in anastomotic time was demonstrated. When paired with later practice attendings, PGY-2 residents had longer anastomotic times (P < 0.001) while PGY-3 anastomotic times did not differ from PGY-4/5.
CONCLUSIONS:This study demonstrates the correlation between trainee and attending experience jointly and anastomotic time, suggesting that pairing residents and attendings by experience may improve surgical training and potentially patient-related outcomes.
