PINTO, Pedro Vaz et al. Surgical experience of first year Otorhinolaryngology residents in Portugal. Rev Port ORL [online]. 2023, vol.61, n.4, pp.361-366.  Epub 31-Dez-2023. ISSN 2184-6499.  https://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.2076.

Surgical practice is essential in the training of new specialists in Otorhinolaryngology (ORL). With this study, we characterized the surgical experience of ORL residents who completed their first year of residency in 2021. The 18 responses were obtained through the completion of a questionnaire and represent 82% of the ORL residents.

The average annual number of surgical procedures performed was 58, with a minimum value of 4 and a maximum of 135. These procedures included an average of 16 tonsillectomies, 22 adenoidectomies, 18 transtympanic ventilation tube placements and 5 tracheotomies. The number of surgical procedures performed showed great variability among the different ORL residents. The future development of national surgical objectives, adapted to each year of internship, may be useful for standardizing the surgical training of ORL residents in Portugal.
