The aim of this study was to systematically review the available evidence about meditation's effects on surgeons. Summary Background Data: Meditation and Mindfulness are positively associated with better mental health and performance in different types of workers and professionals needing high levels of concentration. Surgery is one of the activities with the greatest need for high concentration. Even though these findings are supported by a number of studies, evidence is lacking on the effect of meditation on surgeons. Methods: We searched PubMed for meditation-related studies that focused on surgeons. A total of 243 articles were retrieved and after screening 8 were selected for data extraction. Four of these studies were pilot studies; 3 of them were randomized controlled trials. Results: Meditation was found to be beneficial for surgeons. Benefits span from motor skills to mental and physiological improvements. Conclusion: More awareness and attention on this subject could improve surgeons' well-being as well as patients' outcomes.

Purpose of Review Physician burnout is an epidemic and there are unique aspects of surgery that dictate rates of burnout among general surgeons and surgical trainees. This review characterizes the scope of burnout and its drivers within the field of surgery and advocates for strategies to address burnout at the individual, institutional, and national levels. Recent Findings Rates of burnout in surgery are increasing with higher numbers of young and female surgeons affected. Contributing factors are generally related to work-life balance, longer hours, and mistreatment in the workplace. Attempts have been made at implementing structured initiatives in an effort to combat work dissatisfaction and emotional exhaustion. Still, rates of burnout continue to increase. Summary General surgeons and trainees are at high risk for burnout with resulting attrition, depression, and suicidal ideation. The solution to burnout must be addressed at individual, institutional, and national levels. Further research into the factors leading to surgeon burnout and enactment of effective strategies to mitigate burnout must be pursued.

Summary: Residency is known to be a challenging time in a surgeon’s career. Surgical residents must learn the breadth of their field and develop technical skills while maintaining relationships and well-being outside their training. High burnout rates are well documented among all medical specialties, particularly during residency. Proven strategies in medical education that help decrease burnout and improve resident well-being, while maintaining quality patient care, have been reported in the medical education literature. However, little has been published specific to plastic surgery training programs. We discuss strategies that can be implemented into the curricula and workflow at plastic surgery residency programs to maximize resident well-being. We advocate for a multifaceted approach that includes a night float system, day call, integrating advanced practice providers to offload noneducational resident tasks, and establishing a wellness program. It is our hope that these strategies may serve as a guide for plastic surgery residency programs to promote general wellness and prevent burnout among trainees.
