Reductions in operative experience have been noted in general surgery ( 20 ) as well as neurosurgery ( 21 , 22 ), ophthalmology ( 23 ), orthopedic surgery ( 24 ) and otolaryngology ( 25 ). Alternatives to increase exposure to technical skills development include the use of simulation centers and cadaver labs, both of which had limited access during the pandemic ( 7 , 24 ).…”
