Clinical Cases for the MRCS and AFRCS

The changes in the format of the fellowship examinations have culminated in the introduction of the MRCS and AFRCS examinations to replace the former FRCS.

This is a structured question-and-answer aid for candidates preparing for these exams and it concentrates on the commonly-encountered aspects of general surgery and the important aspects of other surgical specialities.

Each case scenario describes an actual patient history and follows in a systematic fashion the processes involved in obtaining a diagnosis to deciding upon the correct plan of management.

The questions are accompanied by comprehensive answers which address both the important factors and any contentious issues.
