Résumé
To achieve completion of training in general surgery, trainees are required to demonstrate competency in common procedures performed at emergency laparotomy. The aim of this study was to describe the patterns of trainee-led emergency laparotomy operating and the association between postoperative outcomes. Data on all patients who had an emergency laparotomy between December 2013 and November 2017 were extracted from the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit database. Patients were grouped by grade of operating surgeon: trainee (specialty registrar) or consultant (including post-Certificate of Completion of Training fellows). Trends in trainee operating by deanery, hospital size and time of day of surgery were investigated. Univariable and adjusted regression analyses were performed for the outcomes 90-day mortality and return to theatre, with analysis of patients in operative subgroups segmental colectomy, Hartmann's procedure, adhesiolysis and repair of perforated peptic ulcer disease. The study cohort included 87 367 patients. The 90-day mortality rate was 15·1 per cent in the consultant group compared with 11·0 per cent in the trainee group. There were no increased odds of death by 90 days or of return to theatre across any of the operative groups when the operation was performed with a trainee listed as the most senior surgeon in theatre. Trainees were more likely to operate independently in high-volume centres (highest- versus lowest-volume centres: odds ratio (OR) 2·11, 95 per cent c.i. 1·91 to 2·33) and at night (00.00 to 07.59 versus 08.00 to 11.59 hours; OR 3·20, 2·95 to 3·48). There is significant variation in trainee-led operating in emergency laparotomy by geographical area, hospital size and by time of day.

Los residentes tenían más probabilidades de operar solos en centros de alto volumen (en comparación con centros de bajo volumen; razón de oportunidades, odds ratio (OR) 2,11, i.c. del 95% 1,91-2,33) o durante la noche (00:00-07:59 horas en comparación con 08:00-11:59; OR 3,20; i.c. del 95% 2,95-3,48). CONCLUSIÓN: Existen diferencias significativas en la formación que reciben los residentes en laparotomía de urgencia según el área geográfica, el tamaño del hospital y la hora del día. Sin embargo, estas diferencias no parecen afectar a la mortalidad ni a la tasa de reoperaciones.

BACKGROUND
To achieve completion of training in general surgery, trainees are required to demonstrate competency in common procedures performed at emergency laparotomy. The aim of this study was to describe the patterns of trainee-led emergency laparotomy operating and the association between postoperative outcomes.
METHODS
Data on all patients who had an emergency laparotomy between December 2013 and November 2017 were extracted from the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit database. Patients were grouped by grade of operating surgeon: trainee (specialty registrar) or consultant (including post-Certificate of Completion of Training fellows). Trends in trainee operating by deanery, hospital size and time of day of surgery were investigated. Univariable and adjusted regression analyses were performed for the outcomes 90-day mortality and return to theatre, with analysis of patients in operative subgroups segmental colectomy, Hartmann's procedure, adhesiolysis and repair of perforated peptic ulcer disease.
RESULTS
The study cohort included 87 367 patients. The 90-day mortality rate was 15·1 per cent in the consultant group compared with 11·0 per cent in the trainee group. There were no increased odds of death by 90 days or of return to theatre across any of the operative groups when the operation was performed with a trainee listed as the most senior surgeon in theatre. Trainees were more likely to operate independently in high-volume centres (highest- versus lowest-volume centres: odds ratio (OR) 2·11, 95 per cent c.i. 1·91 to 2·33) and at night (00.00 to 07.59 versus 08.00 to 11.59 hours; OR 3·20, 2·95 to 3·48).
CONCLUSION
There is significant variation in trainee-led operating in emergency laparotomy by geographical area, hospital size and by time of day. However, this does not appear to influence mortality or return to theatre.
ANTECEDENTES
Para completar la formación en cirugía general, se requiere que los aspirantes demuestren solvencia en la práctica de los procedimientos comunes efectuados por laparotomía de urgencia. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir los esquemas de formación de los aspirantes en laparotomía de urgencia y su asociación con los resultados postoperatorios. MÉTODOS: Todos los pacientes a los que se realizó una laparotomía de urgencia entre diciembre del 2013 y noviembre del 2017 se obtuvieron a partir de la base de datos de la Auditoría Nacional de Laparotomía de Urgencia (National Emergency Laparotomy Audit, NELA). Los pacientes se agruparon según la experiencia del cirujano; cirujanos en periodo de formación (residentes, speciality registrar) o consultores (incluyendo los que habían completado la especialidad). Se investigaron las tendencias entre los residentes por universidad, tamaño del hospital y hora del día de la cirugía. Se realizaron análisis de regresión univariable y ajustados para la mortalidad a los 90 días y la reoperación, así como análisis de subgrupos para los procedimientos quirúrgicos de colectomía segmentaria, intervención de Hartmann, liberación de bridas y la sutura de una úlcera péptica perforada.
RESULTADOS
La cohorte de estudio incluyó 87.367 pacientes. La mortalidad a los 90 días en el grupo de consultores fue del 15% en comparación con el 11% en el grupo de residentes. No hubo aumento del riesgo de mortalidad a los 90 días o de reoperación en ninguno de los subgrupos de las diferentes operaciones cuando la cirugía era efectuada por el residente considerado como el más senior en las listas de quirófano. Los residentes tenían más probabilidades de operar solos en centros de alto volumen (en comparación con centros de bajo volumen; razón de oportunidades, odds ratio (OR) 2,11, i.c. del 95% 1,91-2,33) o durante la noche (00:00-07:59 horas en comparación con 08:00-11:59; OR 3,20; i.c. del 95% 2,95-3,48). CONCLUSIÓN: Existen diferencias significativas en la formación que reciben los residentes en laparotomía de urgencia según el área geográfica, el tamaño del hospital y la hora del día. Sin embargo, estas diferencias no parecen afectar a la mortalidad ni a la tasa de reoperaciones.
