General Surgical Fellowship Examination Revision Course
This course focuses on essential topics in surgical fellowship preparation, including pre-operative consent protocols, staging and management strategies for various cases such as colorectal cancer and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). Key aspects covered include the comparison of long vs. short course pre-operative chemotherapy, genetics and associated organ system involvement in FAP, and genetic principles in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Additionally, the pathophysiology of diabetic foot sepsis will be discussed, emphasizing effective patient management.
