In a statistical regression model, that would be a variable that encodes a specific individual; although encoding hypothetical (the scientific meaning of that word, not the layperson meaning) attributes of that individual is probably functionally equivalent, more useful, and easier to conduct.

Attributes of the surgeons is not easier, because you need to pick the correct attributes.

Really you just need an indicator variable showing 1 if its data from the surgeon under analysis and zero otherwise.

Then test for that indicator variable being statistically larger than 0.
