We chat with lead author of one of these papers. Dr Chris Wallis, Urologist at the University of Toronto, whose looked at outcomes for more than 1.2 million (!!) patients undergoing a range of surgery types, and showed that patients operated on by female surgeons had less complications and better survival. Another study from Sweden showed similar benefits in patients undergoing gallbladder surgery.
