Surgeon is a resident at teaching facility

My surgery will be done in a teaching facility and my surgeon is one of the BEST in the area. My questions is, since I'm having surgery in a teaching facility, odds are that a resident (5th year) will be doing or assisting in the surgery. I have insisted that I want the expereinced surgeon doing the surgery, and don't mind it the resident open's and closes. This is making me more nervous than I was already. Wondering, has any one eles had this experience???? Please, please let me know. Thanks
