5To my son Durgaprasad for his immense patience and help in bringing this book into reality6
7Preface
This book is brought out as a comprehensive study of surgical clinical cases, their presentation and management options. This is not a textbook of surgery. It is meant to be used by the students in preparation for postgraduate clinical examination, by the surgical teachers before clinical teaching sessions, by the examiners of various postgraduate surgical exams as well as by the practitioners of surgery as an aide.
In studying this book, if the postgraduate student and the surgical practitioner get a clear picture of the surgical condition facing him and ways to manage it, the purpose of writing this book is more than satisfied.
At the end of some of the chapters, a section on frequently asked questions is added, to help the exam going candidate face his examiner confidently. This book also contains tips on good performance in theory, clinical and viva-voce examinations, so that the candidate who follows these tips has that crucial edge over the others. It is my sincere hope that the exam going candidates find this book a priceless possession for their clinical preparation and surgical practitioners for their day-to-day management of cases.
This book consists of skin, vascular surgery, head and neck surgery, breast, gastroenterology, hepatobiliary surgery and urology.

9Tips on Writing Theory Answers
  1. Do not write what is not asked for example, when etiopathology is asked, writing about management is unnecessary.
  2. When you are asked to write about clinical features, always start with history and clinical examination.
  3. When you are asked to write about management, write investigations and treatment.
    1. In investigations, include history and clinical examination, as this is the first investigation done by the clinician.
    2. In treatment, in addition to treatment of the condition, enumerate the complications and mention the treatment of complications.
  4. When you are asked to write about epidemiology, include incidence and prevention as well as spread in case of malignancy.
  5. Always start your answers with introduction and end with conclusion.10
