Método: Estudio prospectivo, transversal y descriptivo, con una encuesta de 30 preguntas cerradas, de manera anónima, voluntaria y confidencial, distribuida a través de un enlace en el chat de WhatsApp en un grupo cerrado de cirujanas de todo el país que son miembros de la Asociación Mexicana de Cirugía General.  Resultados: Participaron 146 cirujanas, con un porcentaje de respuesta del 58.4%. La discriminación percibida por las cirujanas en formación fue de 86 (58.9%), frente a 28 (19.2%) cuando ya son cirujanas, al no permitirles realizar los mismos procedimientos que sus pares. La discriminación por parte de los pacientes fue de 72 (49.3%). No las llaman doctoras sino «señoritas» en 126 (86.3%) y les solicitan hacer funciones de enfermería en 120 (82.2%). También existe discriminación hacia las cirujanas por el personal de enfermería en 87 (59.6%).  Conclusiones: La discriminación hacia las cirujanas es frecuente en los tres ámbitos: pares, pacientes y personal de enfermería. Este es un trabajo inicial, donde se realiza la cuantificación de la discriminación en México. Se deberán implementar las estrategias para evitar la discriminación a las cirujanas y estar en un ambiente de igualdad.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract  Objective: To describe the discrimination experienced by the general female surgeon.  Method: Prospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study, with a survey of 30 questions, closed, anonymous, voluntary and confidential, distributed through a link in the WhatsApp chat in a closed group of female surgeons who are members of the Asociación Mexicana de Cirugía General.  Results: 146 female surgeons participated, with a response rate of 58.4%. The discrimination perceived by female surgeons in training was 86 (58.9%), and 28 (19.2%) when they are already surgeons by not allowing them to perform the same procedures as their peers. Regarding the patients, discrimination against female surgeons was 72 (49.3%). They do not call them doctors, but “ladies”, in 126 (86.3%), and they are asked to perform nursing duties in 120 (82.2%). On the other hand, there is also discrimination against female surgeons by nursing staff in 87 (59.6%).  Conclusions: Discrimination is common in the daily surgical practice of female surgeons in all three areas: peers, patients, and nursing staff. This is an initial work, where the quantification of discrimination in Mexico is carried out. Strategies must be implemented to avoid discrimination against female surgeons and be in an environment of equality.]]></p></abstract>
