Paediatric surgery

Major Clinical Specialty Areas · 18 questions

The paediatric conditions a general surgeon must recognise and safely manage or refer: pyloric stenosis, intussusception, malrotation, necrotising enterocolitis, Hirschsprung disease, inguinal hernia and hydrocele, undescended testis, torsion, appendicitis, congenital anomalies, biliary atresia and paediatric trauma.

Every question in this topic is a single best answer item in the style of the exam, followed by an explanation that gives the reasoning for the correct option, why each distractor is wrong, a key point to carry into the exam and, where one applies, the guideline or trial it rests on. Practice mode lets you work through the topic on its own or mixed with others; exam mode draws it into timed papers.
