Creativity emerges here as a vital but undervalued asset in surgery. While most operative tasks follow predictable pathways, rare but critical moments demand flexible thinking anchored in expertise, team dynamics, and calm problem solving. The conversation highlights how trainees begin residency with high originality that declines as standardization takes hold, raising questions about how medical culture shapes divergent thinking. Curiosity, playfulness, and first-principles thinking are proposed as daily habits to preserve creativity, strengthen teams, and foster impactful innovation in surgical care and research.
