| Abstract |
Surgeons gain expertise as they repeatedly conduct a procedure. Such learning is widely acknowledged to pose a challenge to evaluating new surgical procedures. Most surgical trials report little if any information on learning. We elicited surgeons' belief regarding learning within the context of a randomised trial which assessed two surgical procedures. |
