In the two\u2010surgeon cohort, one surgeon performed tissue resection and the second performed reconstruction (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009329), whereas one primary surgeon performed both resection and reconstruction in the one\u2010surgeon cohort (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009254).

A reduced mean procedure duration was found in the one\u2010surgeon cohort (424.9\u2009min, SD\u2009127.6) compared to the two\u2010surgeon cohort (552.4\u2009min, SD\u2009119.2) (mean difference 127.5\u2009min, Cohen\n                      <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20091.04). A slightly greater proportion of osteocutaneous free flaps was performed in the two\u2010surgeon cohort compared to the one\u2010surgeon cohort (one\u2010surgeon: 53.5%; two\u2010surgeon 62.3%). All other secondary quality measures showed nonsignificant differences with the exception of the proportion requiring intraoperative pressors (86.2% in one\u2010surgeon cohort vs. 74.5% in two\u2010surgeon cohort, mean difference 11.7%, Cohen\n                      <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.29).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study demonstrates at least noninferior efficiency and quality outcomes in free flap cases led by single primary surgeons at our institution.
