    The flipped classroom (FC) model shows significant benefits over traditional lectures (TL) in surgical education.

  • 2

    FC improves learning outcomes, with notable enhancements in total, theoretical, and operational scores compared to TL.

  • 3

    The systematic review included 11 studies, while the meta-analysis incorporated 9, assessing the effectiveness of FC.

  • 4

    High certainty of evidence was found for total and operational scores in randomized studies, but low for non-randomized studies.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that FC may be a promising approach for improving academic performance in surgical education.
