Recenzii
The DVD provides a comprehensively narrated guide to operative practice. With 10 hours of footage and practical advice to the common pitfalls that may be encountered in the operating theatre. Unlike DVDs aimed at Higher Surgical Trainees, How to operate does not profess to show operations without challenges. Rather, it tackles the realities of the situation that one is likely to encounter.
This compendium is firmly based at the Core Surgical Trainee. It covers a breath of surgical procedures likely to be covered during the 2 year rotation. These are namely; general, vascular, urology, orthopaedics, upper gastrointestinal, breast, and colorecatal, along with appendices covering basic surgical skills and theatre etiquette.
There are inevitably some admissions, for example the lack of neurosurgical or cardiothoracic procedures. Furthermore, certain specialties fare better than others with orthopaedics and ENT covered somewhat more scantily than the general and urology sections of the DVD and book.
It is surprising that a similar compilation is not already on the market. Those battling with their surgical exams have utilised Acland s Anatomy for many years, and whilst their value cannot be negated they are a little dated. Furthermore, How to operate has the added benefit of demonstrating the surgical anatomy as it will be seen in the operating theatre. It will never replace comprehensive operative bibles in the mould of Farquharson s Textbook of Operative General Surgery but nor does it purport to be. Rather it provides the junior surgical trainee with a firm grounding. On this note, How to operate will have limited benefit for the higher surgical trainee as they will be familiar with the procedures covered in their parent specialty. However, it opens the possibility of further additions to the series focussing on individual surgical specialties aimed at Registrar level trainees. (Captain Neil Shastri–Hurst RAMC MRCS, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham)
This is a unique and useful addition to the bookshelves (and DVD players) of those progressing through basic surgical training. Detailed step–by–step videos of common operations are each accompanied by a chapter in the book detailing the procedural steps, coupled with operative pictures, radiographs and anatomical diagrams to illustrate the important learning points.
The videos provide a clearly narrated guide to operative practice, pitched for the junior trainee starting out in the operating theatre. The narration tackles the realities of operations and their difficulties with useful tips and a common sense, occasionally humorous approach not found in more senior and specialist titles that often seem to present a more polished version of reality than one encounters in your own operating theatre.
The procedures videoed cover the breadth of a typical core surgical training rotation, including general, vascular, urological, orthopaedic, upper gastrointestinal, ENT, breast, and colorectal procedures. For example, within upper gastrointestinal surgery the videos feature gastrectomy, splenectomy, gastrojejunostomy, open cholecystectomy, and thoracotomy.
It is perhaps surprising that no–one has already put such a training package together. Many have used Acland s anatomy DVDs for MRCS revision, and although sub–specialist operative training DVDs do exist these are limited in scope and are prohibitively expensive.
It must surely have been a labour of love to assemble and edit these training videos all together, and the author and production team are to be congratulated on bringing this to life as well as they have. In the modern multimedia age this could well become as essential as Kirk s seminal text on basic surgical techniques was to previous generations climbing the slippery surgical ladder.
Given the broad coverage of disparate specialties, from orthopaedics to urology, the package will perhaps have limited interest to more senior trainees and one wonders whether dedicated editions featuring each of the nine surgical specialties will be forthcoming in future. Certainly there would be demand for this. Similarly, the level of the accompanying book is no replacement for operative surgery bibles such as Farquharson′s or Kirk s, but neither does it set out to be.
Overall, many surgical trainees at the core/senior house office/resident level will find [this] greatly beneficial to their training." (Ed Fitzgerald MRCS, Specialist Registrar, General Surgery, The Royal Marsden Hospital, London)
