@VerranDeborah what an interesting study and finding. I don't think this can be ascribed to better skill at the surgery itself (though i guess it could be) but I wonder about women creating a better & safer environment for the patient.
@gpollara I agree that it is more likely due to the women having more of a focus on the situation at hand. This data needs to act as a stimulus for some really important conversations within hospitals!
