How common is it that at hospitals with fellowship's in Gyn-Onc the resident has to take 2nd assist, while the fellow and attending do the surgery? What's normal?

obgyn06 said:It depends on the case and the hospital. At a lot of hospitals, it will be the resident is the primary surgeon and the fellow is the 1st assist (or vice versa). The attending often doesn't scrub or is the 2nd assist. If it is a big onc case (i.e. rad hyst) then it might be the attending and the fellow. It all depends.
