Theoretical benefits of consistent surgical teams should not yet change practice; leaves open the need for empirical validation.
Do consistent surgical teams improve team performance compared to inconsistent teams?
This review highlights the theoretical benefits of maintaining consistent surgical teams to improve performance, despite a current lack of empirical evidence.
Xiao et al. (2014) conducted a review in Surgical team performance. Consistent surgical teams was evaluated. While empirical evidence is lacking, theoretical justifications suggest cognitive and psychosocial benefits of consistent surgical teams, laying groundwork for future research.
