Surgical Videos

It’s been a busy week for me. I’ve sourced the internet for some interesting, education videos. I finally found some and would like to share them with you. It’ll definitely come in handy for you guys to update yourselves on your clinical skills and will most likely teach you something you didn’t know that you didn’t know.

Basic Surgical Skills 26MB – A collection of 12 videos teaching you how to properly hold a forceps, how to hold a needle, how to tie surgical knots, instrument ties and how to perform simple surgical sutures.

Surgery Videos 121MB – A collection of videos expanding on how to tie surgical knots (two-handed, one-handed, right hand predominant), scrubbing and gowning.

Patient’s Case History

Close to the end of your Surgery exam, your teachers will ask you to write a report on a patient- Patient Hx. So to make things easier, here is an example of a report. Add a front page, change some contents relevant to your patient, and you’re good to go. Don’t waste time on it. Especially in Zil, they won’t read it. Worse, they will make you use it as rough paper to write the structural part of your exam. AIKS.
