of the men. In addition, about 9 percent of female surgeons and 3 percent of male surgeons had ever worked part-time.

Though the number of women becoming surgeons is increasing, researchers said that offering more generous maternity leave, workplace child care and flexible hours might entice more women to choose and stay in the profession.

"In the medical field, a career in surgery has significant lifestyle implications: The profession is associated with high degrees of patient acuity, significant on-call responsibility and irregular work hours, all requiring a significant commitment of personal time," the researches wrote. "The extent to which the surgical workplace has evolved to accommodate women and their role in family life is unknown to the public, in general, and to the upcoming generation of women physicians, in particular."
