OPERATIVE STATISTICS
Numbers are
approximate. Percentages based upon 2000 cases performed during
the 2005-6 academic year combined at OSF/Methodist medical
centers.
Cases completed as
a PGY-6 are high, approximating 500-600 cases. The vast majority
of this year is spent refining techniques and acquiring the
skills necessary in preparation for academic and clinical
practice. In recent years, our residents have graduated with
confidence in addressing a diverse range of neurosurgical
pathology from complex spine to cerebrovascular as well as
functional subspecialties.
Chief
resident case volume:
7/1/03-6/30/04 - 524
7/1/04-6/30/05 - 817
7/1/05-6/30/06 - 695
Below is an example of a
chief-resident’s caseload accrued over one-year who entered
general neurosurgical practice. This reflects the individual
interest of the resident and thus case numbers in any subgroup
may fluctuate considerably given future goals.
