Women in Surgery

Women in surgery refers to the increasing participation of women in the surgical field, historically dominated by men. Over the past few decades, the number of female surgeons has grown, reflecting broader societal changes toward gender equality. Women now pursue surgical careers in various specialties, contributing to advancements in patient care and outcomes.
