The seventh edition has been edited and fully revised by respected experts in their fields, and provides a full list of current references and relevant resources. It presents the main clinical updates from recent years in this evolving specialty, including new clinical trial data for aneurysm repair, lower limb revascularisation and venous interventions.
This volume is part of the Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice series, the pre-eminent reference for trainees in general surgery and those preparing for the FRCS examinations. Each volume summarises key issues within each surgical sub-specialty and provides evidence-based recommendations to support practice.
- Concise and easy to follow – ideal for exam revision or as a refresher aid
- Fully updated with latest evidence on recent developments, management issues and operative procedures
- Provides an evidence-based rationale for contemporary clinical practice and guidelines in controversial areas of vascular surgical practice
- Details of relevant investigations and evidence-based recommendations to support practice
- Key references to support content, plus a comprehensive list of references in the accompanying eBook
- Links to recommended online videos for further learning
Higher surgical trainees preparing for the FRCS examinations. Surgical residents preparing for the board exams in specific specialties.
Students wishing to progress from Specialty Training (ST)1 through to ST3 need to pass their MRCS exams. Once these have been completed and their place in a surgical post secured they then go on to working on the necessary skills to pass the FRCS exam. This exam marks the completion of 6 years of higher surgical training. This series is designed primarily for those studying for the FRCS, but those still working on their MRCS exams will also find these useful.
Over 6000 UK and overseas doctors take the MRCS postgraduate surgical exams each year. MRCS is a 2 part exam – 5hrs of an MCQ exam then an OSCE clinical exam (18 manned, 9 minute long stations).
The FRCS (2 part MCQ exam / then patient based clinical examinations and scenario based structured interviews).
