“…Our response rate meets the threshold of 50% or greater that is typically considered adequate. 24 However, surveys are inherently subject to respondent recall and interpretation bias. Recall bias may affect Group A’s recollections of their former specialty in particular.…”

In recent years, more Chinese surgeons have left other fields to enter plastic surgery. The factors influencing this respecialization have not been elicited. The authors aim to elucidate Chinese surgeons' experience and career satisfaction in this specialty change. Between July and September 2020, the authors conducted an online survey of nonplastic surgeons who received plastic surgery training at an academic center. The survey evaluated their motivation for pursuing their field, practice patterns, and career satisfaction. Responses were compared those who respecialized in plastic surgery with those who did not. A total of 251 nonplastic surgeons completed the survey. The most frequent reasons for pursuing plastic surgery were lifestyle (61.1%), desire to help others (44.4%), and higher compensation (37.3%). Among those who changed fields, employment in academic centers declined from 85% to 51.7%, 70% devoted at least half of their practice to aesthetic surgery, and the median nights on call decreased from 1.54 to 0.38 per week after specializing in plastic surgery. Overall career satisfaction in plastic surgery was significantly higher compared with their former specialties (78.3% versus 28.3%, P 0.05). The authors' study showed that outflow of surgeons from other specialties to plastic surgery is mainly due to burnout, which erodes physicians' satisfaction level and the quality of care they are able to provide. The authors highlight the need for reducing burnout in other surgical fields as well as rigorous plastic and aesthetic surgery training for those changing fields to ensure high-quality patient care.

“…Historically, survey studies with a 70% response rate have been classified as “very good.” 19 However, in‐person data collection methods have been known to increase this value in comparison to telephone, postal, or electronic means. In the present study, we attribute our high response rate of 93.33% to the design of the program, which recruited current patients from the clinics of participating physicians 20 21,22 …”

“…In the present study, we attribute our high response rate of 93.33% to the design of the program, which recruited current patients from the clinics of participating physicians. 20 While this is more time-consuming than other methods, it increases the validity of the study results and reduces several biases, including non-response bias.…”

“…However, one should be able to identify fatal errors before conducting a systematic review and search for an alternative strategy or abandon the inordinate amount of time in performing a systematic review that predictably will yield no suitable results. 6 The advent of systematic reviews and metaanalyses has enriched plastic surgery. However, too many articles are being proposed that have major flaws, leading to instant rejection.…”
