Patients have better outcomes with female surgeons
Differences in technique, speed and risk-taking are suggested as reasons for surgery by men leading to more problems
90 days after an operation, 13.9% of patients treated by a male surgeon had “adverse post-operative events”, a catch-all term that includes death and medical complications ranging from problems that require further surgery to major infections, heart attacks and strokes. The equivalent figure for patients seen by female surgeons was 12.5%.
Patients seen by female surgeons fared better one year after surgery too, with 20.7% having an #adverse #postoperative #event, compared with 25% of those seen by male surgeons.
When the doctors looked purely at #deaths post-surgery, the difference was even starker: patients treated by male surgeons were 25% more likely to die one year after surgery than those treated by female surgeons -
