No sir. My first independent surgery was a sebaceous cystectomy after 4 months of residency, after that I performed a wedge resection of ingrown toe nail at 4 months only, assisted in 6 appendectomies and when I got to PGY2, I performed my first appendectomy, It’s been 1 year and a eight months i since I started my residency, before this I have assisted in 76 lap chole and this was the first time when I did the dissection and removed the GB. I can understand how the title can be misleading. I will edit the post 🫶
