Summary
This study uses an online survey to learn about the daily work of surgeons specializing in the liver, pancreas, and bile ducts (HPB surgeons). The survey asks members of a professional association about their practice patterns, such as whether they work alone or in teams. The goal is to see if current training matches real-world practice and to identify potential improvements for future surgeons.
