“…Trainees in Thailand are expected to perform 500 operations during training, and to meet procedure‐specific requirements for inguinal hernia (10), cholecystectomy (7) and colectomy (3). General surgery trainees in Spain and the Netherlands do not presently have to attain minimum total procedural requirements (J. Hamming, Programme Director for Surgical Training, The Netherlands; personal communication). However, the Spanish curriculum sets procedure‐specific requirements including inguinal hernia (25) cholecystectomy (15) and colectomy (10).…”

“…Procedures included were inguinal hernia repair, appendicectomy, cholecystectomy and segmental colectomy, with both open and laparoscopic approaches recorded where given. These procedures were chosen as they comprise key ‘index’ procedures that form essential competency requirements in several general surgical training systems. Total procedure‐specific data were calculated by summing open and laparoscopic totals in articles that presented open and laparoscopic data separately.…”

Background: General surgical training curricula around the world set defined operative numbers to be achieved before completion of training. However, there are few studies reporting total operative experience in training. This systematic review aimed to quantify the published global operative experience at completion of training in general surgery.Methods: Electronic databases were searched systematically for articles in any language relating to operative experience in trainees completing postgraduate general surgical training. Two reviewers independently assessed citations for inclusion using agreed criteria. Studies were assessed for quantitative data in addition to study design and purpose. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model of studies with appropriate data.
