Winchester Surgery Attachment: 3rd year 3
Introduction
Welcome to the 3rd year Surgery Attachment at Winchester. This booklet will help you get the
most out of your attachment so please read it. Your Surgery Attachment consists of one four
week block of GI Surgery, and one four week block of Combined Specialities (Urology, Breast
Surgery, Vascular Surgery and Accident and Emergency Medicine). These blocks take place
before, after or around the four week Obstetrics and Gynaecology block.
General Advice Regarding This Surgical Attachment The Royal Hampshire County Hospital may not be a teaching hospital in the traditional sense
but it is certainly a learning hospital. It is busy and you now have the opportunity to get stuck in
and enjoy this great clinical experience. This attachment has been designed to allow you as
much time with patients as possible, and correspondingly you must utilise every learning
opportunity. The word clinical comes straight from the ancient Greek κλινη meaning bed, and
it is at the bedside you learn your medicine and surgery. The more closely you follow the
surgical teams, the more you will become part of that team and the more you will learn. Do not
expect to be spoon-fed with formal teaching sessions but do expect to have your questions
answered in clinics, theatre and ward rounds.
The prospect of taking a history from a sick patient may be daunting, but remember that most
patients are fed up with being in hospital and they are usually quite happy to answer your
questions. Indeed most patients recognise the importance of medical training and are willing to
be examined by a student. It goes without saying that you should acknowledge this privilege by
expressing your gratitude.
Each patient is on a journey through their episode of ill health. The more that you see of each
patient’s journey, the more you will understand about the patient and his/her background, the
disease, the investigations and the treatments. Therefore if you are attending a theatre session,
take time to find out what patients are on the list and get to speak to them beforehand. Likewise
take the trouble to follow their progress post-operatively.
Knowledge of surgical pathology is an essential foundation for your learning, and in particular
you should ensure you are familiar with the natural history of surgical disease (the progress of
that disease untreated). Pathology teaching takes place every Tuesday at 1030 in the Post
Mortem Room, Brinton Wing. This is a valuable learning opportunity.
I.D. BADGES All Medical Students are required to wear their ‘Southampton University Medical Student’ photo ID badge at all times. To maintain a high standard of infection control the Trust has a policy of bare below elbows (allowing a plain wedding band as the only jewellery) when working in all clinical areas.
Winchester Surgery Attachment: 3rd year 4
The GI Surgery Block
During this attachment you will have four continuous weeks with one GI surgical firm (Colorectal
or Upper GI Surgery). The curriculum has been redesigned to ensure that from Monday to
Thursday you are not distracted by skills sessions or other obligations, and correspondingly you
are expected to be present as part of the team during this block.
Activities on a surgical firm break down into the following:
assessment of new patients (clerking) on the ward or in the Accident and Emergency
department
taking part in ward rounds which usually focus on ongoing evaluation and treatment of
patients known to the team
outpatient clinics in which new and follow-up patients are assessed
special investigations including GI endoscopy (OGD, flexible sigmoidoscopy and
colonoscopy) and imaging (plain radiographs, ultrasound, CT and MR scanning)
anaesthesia and airway management
operating
clinical meetings including multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTMs)
During the GI surgical block you have the opportunity to participate in all of these and you must
make it your business to do so. Your primary obligation is to learn how to take a history,
perform an examination and present the symptoms and signs to a doctor in a coherent manner.
It follows that the more time you spend in the clinical assessment of patients, the better.
Try to see as many of the core GI surgical pathologies as possible (see below). You must make
sure you acquire the following skills:
taking a history with emphasis on GI symptoms
examination of the abdomen (in the elective setting such as in outpatients)
examination of the acute abdomen (when a presents non-electively with abdominal
symptoms and signs)
PR (anorectal) examination
Examination for groin swellings including hernia
Clinical timetables can vary so you must find out from the teams when these sessions take
place and what sessions are best for your learning. The F1 doctors are closest to the ward
patients, but any member of the team should be able to advise you.
Winchester Surgery Attachment: 3rd year 5
The Combined Specialities Block
You will spend four weeks addressing different surgical specialities. Two weeks on a Urology
firm, then two weeks in Breast Surgery with sessional attachment to Vascular Surgery. The
time available for each is relatively short, so you must indeed utilise every learning opportunity.
This block has been designed to allow you to learn history taking and examination skills relevant
to these important specialities; you may not see all the core surgical pathologies (see below) but
you should address the following skills:
taking a history with emphasis on urological symptoms
palpation of the prostate gland at PR examination
examination of the male external genitalia
understanding dipstick urinalysis
taking a history in the context of breast cancer
breast examination
taking a history in the context of peripheral vascular disease
examination of peripheral pulses in the lower limbs
examination of the abdomen for aortic aneurysm
Formal Evaluation of Your Learning During your GI surgical block attachment you must complete two pink assessment forms with
different consultants, one from your GI attachment and one from either one of the combined
specialities attachments. You must be prepared to arrange this well in advance so that you can
get this done before your attachment ends. Please collect your pink forms from Fiona Holloway
in the Administration office Education Centre RHCH 01962 825432. There is also an end of
attachment evaluation form which must also be completed and this is also obtained from Fiona
Holloway. Once all forms are completed they must be returned to Fiona. The originals will be
forwarded to School of Medicine and a copy will be kept on file at RHCH.
Log Book Please get them signed by a senior team member (ST3 or above). These are an integral part of
your end of placement assessment and if not completed may affect your final grade for this
attachment. On completion these books must be submitted to Fiona Holloway to have your
progress recorded. The log book will then be returned to you for your own records.

Surgical Pathology: Required Knowledge for Medical Undergraduates You will not see all these conditions, but you must have read about them and so be
knowledgeable about them. Do not expect the formal teaching sessions to cover all, or nearly
all, of these.

Recommended Resources There are many resources available in local libraries and elsewhere. Some aim to teach clinical
method as well as surgical pathology, and are particularly accessible and relevant. Many are
exhaustive surgical references and I have listed these at the end. Please do not be deterred
from consulting resources outwith these lists.
Podcast: Surgery 101 (available free from iTunes) This excellent series of podcasts is a great reference for the all the surgical pathology you will need. They are put together by the University of Alberta. Highly recommended!
www.wessexcolorectalclinic.com Go to the Patient Information tabs to read the patient information sheets – you should have a firm grasp of all the concepts described. The Patient Journey tab has some useful links to Enhanced Recovery resources. The Training tab links to YouTube with many laparoscopic colorectal operation movies (edited to about 10 minutes!). These will help you make sense of what you see in theatre.
Lecture Notes: General Surgery Ellis, Calne, Watson 11th Edition 2006: Blackwell Publishing This is aimed at medical students so well pitched in terms of detail. Compact, very readable and reliable: highly recommended it is probably the most suitable single text for covering the undergraduate curriculum. There are very few illustrations, just line drawings.
Clinical method with surgical pathology:
Browses’ Introduction to the Symptoms and Signs of Surgical Disease Browse NL, Black J, Burnand KG, Thomas WEG 4th Edition 2005: Hodder Arnold A clinical classic for proper clinical method. Great Chapter 15: The Abdomen.
Cope’s Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen Zachary Cope: revised by William Silen 22nd Edition 2009: Oxford University Press. A masterly monograph considered unbeatable for learning the art of assessing the acute abdomen.
Hamilton Bailey’s Demonstration of Physical Signs in Clinical Surgery Edited by JSP Lumley 18th Edition 1997: Butterworth Heinemann. Comprehensive surgical reference books: A treasure trove of clinical wisdom. Full of
images and diagrams relating to surgical pathology of the abdomen and other systems.
Surgery at a Glance Grace PA, Borley NR 4th Edition, Wiley Blackwell An excellent and concise tour around clinical presentations and their differential diagnoses, then surgical pathologies and their key features. Well pitched for undergraduates.
Winchester 3rd year Surgery Student Attachment 10
Principles and Practice of Surgery Garden, Bradbury, Forsythe, Parks 5th Edition 2007: Churchill Livingstone Aimed at medical students and FY1. Well illustrated. Good overview of surgery with abdominal focus. Chapter 8 is useful: Principles of the Surgical Management of Cancer. Comprehensive organ and system-specific pathology chapters.
Essential Surgery Burkitt HG, Quick CRG, Reed JB 4th Edition 2007: Churchill Livingstone. Suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of surgery, and as such probably best for undergraduates to dip into now and again. Wonderful images.
Clinical Surgery Cuschieri A, Grace PA, Darzi A, Borley N, Rowley D 2nd Edition 2003: Blackwell Comprehensive with useful “at a glance” sections in each chapter.
Bailey and Love’s Short Practice of Surgery Editors: Williams NS, Bulstrode CJK, O’Connell PR 25th Edition: Hodder Arnold This is the big daddy of comprehensive textbooks and covers all kinds of surgery. From an undergraduate perspective it is one to dip into, not least to benefit from the wonderful anecdote, eponymous biographies and history which mark it out from the rest. Single Best Answers for Surgery Patten DK, Layfield D, Arya S, Leff DR, Paraskevas PA, Darzi A 1st edition 2009: Hodder Arnold An excellent and challenging test of your surgical knowledge, authored by one of our local core trainees. In the library.

In addition to the inpatient surgical services above, you should be familiar with the range of
anaesthetic interventions commonly used on surgical patients. Most of our patients have an
anaesthetic experience, and anaesthetists are usually very happy to teach. Do not miss out on
this valuable resource.
Furthermore there are several clinical and diagnostic services which will accommodate medical
students on a sessional basis:
• Radiology: ensure you are familiar with the common modalities used in evaluation of
abdominal pathology, namely ultrasound and CT scanning. Moreover make sure you are aware
of the imaging modalities used for breast cancer evaluation.
• Endoscopy: you should be familiar with OGD (oesophagogastrodudenoscopy), flexible
sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy and flexible cystoscopy and the demands these studies place on
patients, in particular with regard to oral mechanical bowel preparation in the case of
colonoscopy.
If you have any particular questions, please get in touch via Claire Townsend 01962 824870,
Medical Education Co-ordinator at the Education Centre.

Cancer epidemiology
In 2009 more than 320 000 people were diagnosed with cancer in the UK. In 2010 more than
157 000 people died of cancer. Please make yourself familiar with the following data from
Cancer Research UK, and do use the Cancer Research UK web pages.
Most cancers are carcinomas (cancers of epithelial origin), the exceptions being leukaemia and
lymphomas. While common, non-melanoma skin cancer is not considered in these statistics.
This category consists almost wholly of basal cell carcinoma which does not spread other than
by direct invasion, has a very low mortality rate, is often managed in a community setting and is
incompletely reported.
