The purpose of this study was to investigate how surgeons advise trainees in pursuit of a surgical career. An 18-question survey was administered to members of the American College of Surgeons through their monthly newsletter NewScope. Respondents were asked to identify subspecialties that they would consider to be most receptive to men or women and how they would advise men and women pursuing a surgical specialty. There were 663 respondents, of which the majority (n = 465, 70.99%) were male. When asked if participants had a role model in medical school, 61.10 per cent had male role models/mentors, whereas only 7.96 per cent had female role models/mentors. Among the 23 surgical subspecialties listed, the top five specialties viewed as receptive for women were breast surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, and GS. Surgical specialty and gender of the respondent played a role in how surgeons advised men and women trainees, especially in specialties that traditionally have less female representation. There is inherent gender-based bias in advisement of trainees that may affect surgical specialty choice. Surgeon gender, age, and surgical specialty could be predictors as to how trainees are advised.The resection of lung parenchyma for thoracic trauma is uncommon. Different surgical procedures with a wide range of complexities have been described depending on the severity of trauma and the presence of associated injuries. The aim of this study was to analyze outcomes of wedge resection, lobectomy, and pneumonectomy. Data for this study were obtained from an eight-year retrospective National Trauma Data Bank study (2007-2015). Adult patients who sustained severe chest trauma (Abbreviated Injury Scale > 3) that required any type of lung resection were included. Prop
