P’s Answer

Hi there! Great question. I’m not a surgeon but I work with them closely and often scrub into interesting surgeries. They number of surgeries you do varies based on the type of surgeon you are. So a general surgeon may do a lot of appendix and gallbladder and tumor removal. A cardiothoracic surgeon will do heart surgeries or lung surgeries which can be longer so they may do less numbers. If you do transplant surgeries those can take 6-12 hours depending on how complex the surgery is and how sick the patient is.

On the other had a dermatology surgeon may do surgeries that only take an hour each.

I hope this answers your question.

Hi, Ally. I am a gynecologic surgeon, and have been in practice for 30 years. I trained in obstetrics and gynecology and used to deliver babies as well, but now I just practice gynecology. I perform 3-4 major surgeries one day per week and 2-3 minor procedures 1 day per week. I perform surgeries to remove the uterus, the ovaries, ovarian cysts. I perform tubal ligations and bladder suspensions. So, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking...How many procedures or what type. This should answer both of those questions.
Good luck!
