Objective To investigate the development of instructional appendectomy in teaching hospitals of all levels in China and promote clinical training. Methods In March 2021, 300 clinicians from 250 hospitals (including university affiliated hospitals others at the provincial, municipal and county levels) in 28 provinces including autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government were selected by non random sampling method. The general surgery research team of Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University designed the questionnaire; Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the result data. Results A total of 286 doctors from 249 hospitals participated in the survey. Only 42.2% (105/249) of these hospitals still engaged in the instructional appendectomy and the majority of which are university- affiliated [33.3 % (35/105)] and non-directly affiliated municipal ones [36.2 %(38/105)]. Most trainees participated in the instructional appendectomy are resident doctors from the standardized training program [74.3% (78/105)] and interns [56.2 % (59/105)]. The proportion of hospitals that gave up appendectomy was 29.7% (74/249). A survey of 77 doctors in these 74 hospitals showed that the main reasons of giving up include high medical risk [70.1% (54/77)] and poor clinical fundamentals among medical students [42.9% (33/77)]. From the prospect of resuming instructional appendectomy in the future, 93.0% (266/286) of the doctors interviewed expressed their support to appendectomy training and their needs of appropriate surgical approaches, increase of students' chance to join operation as the first assistant, improvement of the clinical knowledge and training of basic laparoscopic skills in order to improve the learning outcomes and ensure the smooth operation. Conclusions The training by instructional appendectomy in China is facing great challenges and the large-scale teaching operation of appendectomy is still feasible. The laparoscopic technology may facilitate clinical training of appendectomy.
