Applied Basic Science for Basic Surgical Training (MRCS Study Guides)

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It has been written to encompass the basic anatomy, physiology and pathology required by the syllabus of the UK Royal Colleges and the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Project. For this Second Edition many of the chapters have been updated, especially the chapters on immunology, basic microbiology, the endocrine and locomotor systems and the breast. An attempt has been made throughout to indicate the clinical relevance of the facts and the reason for learning them. There are several new contributors to the author team, all of whom are experts in their field and many of them are, or have been, experienced examiners at the various UK Royal Colleges.

Thoroughly revised to take account of latest changes in basic surgical training, especially the chapters on immunology, basic microbiology, the endocrine and locomotor systems and the breast.

Complementary ultrasound to mammography ; Why?

Breast cancer can lie hidden from mammography in women with dense breast tissue, and thus the role of ultrasound is implemented to evaluate the texture and anatomical structures within the breast. Women most likely to have dense breasts are younger, premenopausal women and postmenopausal women who are taking hormone replacement therapy.

Breast ultrasound is used as a complementary examination to mammography in the following situations:

* Evaluation of dense breast tissue.
* Evaluation of a mass demonstrated on mammography.
* Guidance of biopsy needle or needle localization (see cyst aspiration image)

Absess Drainage

Appendicitis Picture

Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a finger-like glandular piece of tissue that connects to the beginning of the large intestine, usually at the lower right side of the abdomen. In older children, the classic symptoms of appendicitis are abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting. Abdominal pain usually begins in the center of the abdomen, around the area of the navel ("belly button"). Later, the pain may move downward and to the right - to an area called McBurney's point, roughly corresponding to the location of the appendix in the lower right portion of the abdomen.

Farquharson's Textbook of Operative General Surgery

First published in 1954, Farquharson’s Textbook of Operative Surgery is a textbook that has helped to train generations of surgeons around the world in general operative procedures. This new edition continues this tradition, presenting all the operations that the trainee surgeon may be expected to undertake, and discussing the basic techniques available and the reasons for their application. Techniques and options are described in sufficient detail to allow any surgeon who has limited experience of a particular procedure to proceed with confidence and safety. The text is thus also valuable for qualified surgeons practicing in smaller hospitals worldwide where specialized advice may not otherwise be available. This ninth edition has been fully updated, with many chapters entirely rewritten. New contributing authors bring their particular experience in sub-specialties such as vascular medicine, orthopaedics and trauma, all of which overlap with the work of the general surgeon. Farquharson’s Textbook of Operative General Surgery remains an unrivalled aid to training in operative surgical procedures, and an invaluable ready reference for the more experienced surgeon working in a variety of settings and locations.

Lipoma arborescens (what`s it !!!)

Lipoma arborescens is a rare case affecting the synovial linings of the joints and bursae, with 'frond like' depositions of fatty tissue. They account for less than 1% of all lipomatous lesions.

Clinical presentation
Clinically presented by painless joint swelling, frequently with effusion, typically in the 5th - 7th decades. Usually these lesions are sporadic, however they can be seen in the setting of osteoarthritis, collagen vascular disorders or previous trauma.

The most common site of involvement is suprapatellar bursa of knee joint, and the disorder is usually unilateral . Occasional reports of hip, shoulder, wrist elbow are also reported. Other joint involvement is uncommon. Involvement of tendon sheath is even rarer.

Treatment and prognosis
The condition is benign and is cured by synovectomy. Recurrence is uncommon

Abscess in Abdominal Wall

An 83-year-old man with hypertension presented with a 3-month history of a painful, progressively enlarging mass in the right subcostal region. He reported no associated constitutional symptoms and no history of abdominal surgery. Local examination revealed a tender, erythematous, fluctuant mass, 3 cm by 2 cm, with clinically significant surrounding induration and an underlying fixed mass (Panel A).

Computed tomography revealed that the mass was communicating with a large gall bladder mass (Panel B, arrow). Ultrasonography-guided needle biopsy, along with histologic and immunocytochemical examinations, confirmed that the mass was an adenocarcinoma of the gall bladder. The patient did not agree to any further evaluation or treatment. He was discharged with plans for palliative care and died 5 weeks later.
