| description | Background
This study aimed to examine the prevalence of gender bias in the field of cardiothoracic vascular surgery in India and compared women surgeons and trainees in India and abroad.
Methods
This was a comparative, cross-sectional analytical study using an online questionnaire. The survey included questions about demographics, career choice, training, academic and leadership opportunities, and the impact of choosing cardiothoracic-vascular surgery as a career on personal life.
Results
A total of 203 practicing surgeons and trainees participated in the study and included 121 (59.6%) men and 82 (40.3%) women. Out of the 82 women, 48 (58.5%) were from India, and 34 (41.5%) were from other countries. Satisfaction with the specialty was similar among men and women (105 (86.7%) vs. 68 (82.9%),
p
= 0.44 respectively). Majority (
n
= 30, 62.5%) of the female surgeons in India reported being discriminated against, as well as receiving favored treatment 11 (22.9%). Compared to men, women surgeons in India were more frequently advised against pursuing a career in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (

p
< 0.001) and were more frequently subjected to gender-related references (
p
< 0.001). In addition, they had fewer presentation opportunities (
p
= 0.016) at national or regional meetings during their training compared to men. Additionally, 50% (24) of the women in India reported being single, in contrast to 7% (6) of men, and only 15 (31.3%) women reported having a child, compared to 57 (66.3%) of the men.
Conclusion
The study revealed significant gender disparities within the field of cardiothoracic vascular surgery in India and highlights the urgent need to address gender disparities and bias in cardiothoracic vascular surgery.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0970-9134</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 0973-7723</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s12055-024-01713-w</identifier><identifier>PMID: 39156068</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Singapore: Springer Nature Singapore</publisher><subject>Cardiac Surgery ; Medicine ; Medicine & Public Health ; Original Article ; Surgery ; Thoracic Surgery ; Vascular Surgery</subject><ispartof>Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2024-09, Vol.40 (5), p.536-546</ispartof><rights>Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons 2024.
