AbstractWork-time constraints during surgical residency along with managing a private life usually take up the majority of the time of young surgeons. For many, work with a surgical society seems like something neither generally promising nor personally worthwhile, thus raising the question, why bother? This article sets out to show examples of the effects that surgical societies and young surgeon committees can have on surgery and residency training. Additionally, we highlight the personal side of being active on a committee. Our aim is to raise interest in participating in societal work by showing the rewarding general effects as well as personal benefits. While this article is based primarily on experiences made in Germany, we believe that aspects can be transferred to other medical systems.

The method for determining the duration of a combined foundation device, which is constructed in several stages, is considered in the article. The main stages include the construction of structures and the regulation of the stress-strain state of the soil base, which is carried out by pressing it. Pressurization is carried out during the construction of the building. On an example of construction of the linear schedule the mutual coordination of works of each stage during building of a building is resulted. The possibility of varying the time parameters of the network model is presented depending on the parameters of the crimping process. Between the late and early beginnings of work there is a common time reserve, which is part of the technological break. The authors present empirical data on the actual duration of concreting of grillage of combined foundations. The study of time parameters of technological processes was based on such methods of observation as timekeeping, photo-timing and video and photo-fixation. The measurements were carried out during the construction of the residential complex «Neighbors» in Tyumen. The scope of research included the study of labor costs of the team, consisting of seven concrete workers. The investigated technological process of concreting consistently included the reception and direction of the concrete mix, laying, leveling and compacting the mixture, smoothing and smoothing the grillage surface. Based on the data obtained, the dependencies of the average duration of concrete work on the volume of the concrete mix laid in the cells (shells) are revealed. The comparison of work durations on both foundations is made. Actual work is determined and work time standards are established, allowing to organize concrete works with sufficient precision when drawing up calendar plans within the framework of working out of projects for the production of works. This article is made in the framework of the dissertation research by co-author Volosiuk D.V.

The operative experience of present-day surgical residency training has evolved as a result of the contributions of laparoscopic surgery. Some traditional open procedures are now more descriptive and less of a familiarity to many general surgery residents (GSRs). The aim of this study was to investigate how open operative experience compares with laparoscopy for GSRs. A retrospective, multicenter, consecutive cohort study of all patients undergoing surgical intervention involving the appendix and gallbladder identified from the ACS-NSQIP database over a 2.5-year period. All GSR postgraduate year-level operative experience was recorded. Of 777 procedures, 13 laparoscopic appendectomy conversions to open (4.3%) by Rocky-Davis (15%) or lower midline (84.6%) incisions were performed versus 285 that remained laparoscopic (95.6%). Fifty (10.4%) open cholecystectomies (38 open + 10 conversions + 2 common bile duct (CBD) exploration), 27 (5.6%) laparoscopic cholecystectomies with cholangiogram, and 402 (83.9%) laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed. Twenty-nine different GSRs participated in procedures. Eighty-five (10.9%) operations were performed with multi–postgraduate year levels. Surgical residents have an unequal operative experience for case-specific open procedures. A competency-based system to demonstrate a resident's hands-on surgical skills is fundamental to residency training and should be considered for specific types of low-volume open surgical cases.
