Paper Summary

Observational studies are important in surgical research when it's hard to do randomized controlled trials. These studies are easier and cheaper to do, and can help test new ideas for future research. They can be a good option when it's not ethical or possible to do a randomized trial. Observational studies can also be useful when the outcome being studied is rare or hard to measure.
