However, across surgical specialties, pregnancy and neonatal outcomes have not been delineated. The objective of this survey study was to evaluate maternal, neonatal and pregnancy outcomes compared to other surgical specialties. METHODS: A survey was distributed to practicing surgeons across specialties including general surgery, urology, otolaryngology, and associated subspecialties. Survey questions regarding demographics, career stage, pregnancy/delivery, neonatal complications, maternity leave, breast feeding goals, and barriers to meeting these goals were asked. Responses were analyzed comparing urology/urologic subspecialties to other surgical specialties. RESULTS: S:1162 births across surgical specialties were obtained, 159 of which were to urologic surgeons. Of these births, 454 were to trainees, while 694 children were birthed to attendings. Similarities across surgical subspecialties included gestational age at delivery (p=0.161). Those in urology/urology subspecialties were less likely to have pregnancy complications compared to other surgical specialties (31.4% vs 44.4%, p=0.003). Additionally, children born to urologists were more frequently healthy (87.8% vs 78.1%, p=0.031) without major or minor neonatal health issues (Figure 1). CONCLUSIONS: Overall, urologists have improved pregnancy and infant health outcomes compared to other surgical specialties. Further research is needed to identify specific etiologies to enable directed quality improvement measures for all child bearing surgeons.
