Surgical technology, imaging and endoscopy

Principles of Surgery in General · 18 questions

Diathermy and energy devices, laparoscopic physiology and access, staplers and sutures, the physics and safety of imaging modalities including contrast and radiation, and the endoscopy standards, surveillance intervals and complications a surgeon is expected to know.

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.
