Key result
Pilot HVLC training program associated with ~100% trainee satisfaction and no post-operative readmissions.
Why the study?
The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented impact on healthcare delivery and surgical training, creating a growing elective waiting list backlog and a training deficit.
Do bespoke High Volume Low Complexity (HVLC) theatre lists improve surgical training and elective recovery without compromising patient safety?

Do bespoke High Volume Low Complexity (HVLC) theatre lists improve surgical training and elective recovery without compromising patient safety?
Bespoke HVLC theatre lists can successfully amalgamate surgical training with elective waiting list recovery while maintaining high trainee satisfaction and patient safety.
Zhao et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Elective surgical conditions (hernia, lipoma, simple lesions) (n=29). High Volume Low Complexity (HVLC) training theatre lists was evaluated on Trainee satisfaction and post-operative complications. A pilot high volume low complexity (HVLC) training program achieved 100% trainee satisfaction and zero post-operative readmissions among 29 patients undergoing 34 elective procedures.
