Summary
This study looked at 120 women having mastectomy for breast cancer to see if the gender of their anesthesiologist affected their pain and need for painkillers after surgery. Researchers compared pain scores and medication use between patients treated by male versus female anesthesiologists. The goal is to understand if patient-anesthesiologist gender concordance plays a role in recovery and to improve care.
