Hey I am interested in surgery, and was wondering if someone can comment on the average length of time for a typical operation that takes place in your particular specialty/subspecialty of surgery.
I am especially interested in:
General surgery, Urology, ENT, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic surgery, Dermatology, Neurosurgery, Thoracic surgery, Plastic surgery, Pediatric surgery, Vascular surgery, Surgical Oncology, Burn surgery, etc.
What specialties typically have operations that last 2 hours? 4 hours? 8 hours? 16 hours?
Any input you have would be helpful!
