Start NowSince antiquity, the concept of a physician accessing a patient to remove diseased tissue using specialized tools has been tightly linked to the practice of medicine as a whole. It was relatively recently, during the 19th century, that surgery began to take shape as a medical specialty. Surgery can be broadly defined as the branch of medicine that focuses on the management of conditions requiring surgical intervention for a definitive resolution. Surgery is further subdivided into focalized subspecialties, with general surgery being the first to develop. Other specialties include trauma surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, colon and rectal surgery, neurosurgery, and ophthalmic surgery.
In this course, the student will be introduced to the basic concepts of general surgery, trauma management, and the general principles of specialized surgical management. For optimal comprehension, the student is expected to have a good understanding of anatomy and physiology, especially with respect to cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems. Additionally, a good grasp of acid-base and electrolyte balance is encouraged.
Trauma and acute abdominal injuries are among the most common clinical conditions requiring emergent surgical management. As general physicians are typically among the first healthcare providers encountered by patients in a hospital, prompt diagnosis and management, sometimes simultaneously, are crucial to adequately stabilize patients before surgery to increase their chances of success and recovery.
Surgical management is now a common intervention worldwide. A competent general physician plays an important role in ensuring timely and accurate diagnosis, and in indicating the appropriate referral pathway directing the patient to the specialized care they require.

Though brief, it covered the main points, the dx and treatment. The differentiation was lacking.
Dr. Pei has a lot of knowledge about surgery and he is able to transmit it to the students. also he focus on high yield question and that always important.
it's easy to keep up with the pp and the professor, and the best: questions during the video, so I don't lose focus ( which is a big problem for me)
I think there are some missing lectures especially for step 2 CK like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, fistula, etc.

Easy, concrete explanation, delivers what is needed without loosing the viewer during the video
Updates filled in the gaps needed for the topic mentioned.
I think the anatomy could have been explained much better. I found myself constantly pausing the video to find the specific structures mentioned in some parts.
It is very interesting one. But the number of vedios who can be freely accessible are very low. We who are living in low income countries have no the option for perimium subsribition
The lecs are very well explained and makes it a lot easier to understand the concept well
4 it is my marks regarding this general surgery part starting from the interface system, very nice and briefly reviewed of each chapter which makes this surgery part lovely
Brief and easy-to-follow introduction to pheochromocytoma. Very clearly presented with great visual aids!
I would like to have more depth on the clinical presentations and differential diagnosis as well as more information about the Therapie plans, decision making and type of surgeries. It would also be perfect since it is an online education platform to add an optional Real Operations Videos for e.g. for Appendectomy or Whipple OP or …etc.
Excellent presentation Complete information So easy to gain what we need easily and rapidly
Yes, an excellent lecture, it has great content. Many thanks for doctor Kevin.
After attending all lectures, I'm able to do my surgery rotations with confidence. Thanks to Lecturio and all professors spreading knowledge through this platform.
Few details, not sufficient explanation. Please make the breaks between the slides longer
Great class! I loved how clear it was, and how the key points were highlighted
Detailed explanation of concepts in a way that is easy to remember.
less interesting sfdg sdf fasd asf asf afsd afsd fasd fdas
I wish this course included more details & more explanations. It feels rushed through and superficial, although it may be enough for preparing the step 2.
I liked it very much this course as it has covered all acute abdomen really well!!! And I especially like it it Diff diagnostics And illustrations are brilliant ! And way of explaining is really neat and precise!!! It is really handy to know as a foreign doc How to pronounce the some surgical vocabulary in English language. Yes! I will definitely recommend for foreign graduates to use this course and it has my preferred language on the bottom of the screen As well if I needed for instance.
Great Teacher Much Appreciated honestly, I have a surgery exam very soon so just recapping!
this series of lecture is too light to learn with it : this is a list of facts, but not an explanation of what's actually going on so as to give sense to the material
Good review and explanation of important topics! It helped me remember important stuff for my surgical clinical rotation.
Well presented, clear, informative. May be there should be links to the relevant basic science talks. You should add on case based problem solving discussions.
I had choose this rating because I enjoyed the lectures and the assessment of quizzes after each class. A bad thing is that I think it’s too short and I need to read from other sites , and if I had a wrong answer it didn’t say why ? But stay I enjoyed it.
Very straight to the point. No information overload . High yield, easy to remember.
Explanations are great, but some videos are so shorts long, it would be great if there is an option to view longer time or the some videos together
Very clear, simple and easy to understand. And there is a relative translation which is suitable for beginners
The lectures are very straight foward and Dr. Pei is really good.
Every topic was covered and deliivered in a crisp manner. Would strongly recommend.
The lecture provided clarification and important information in a direct and specific manner.
Eu gostei do jeito que as informações foram apresentadas, a aula foi clara, simples e direta. Não deixando nada faltar. A parte que envolve diagnostico e manejo esta especialmente boa. Obrigada
I really like how Dr. Pei delivered and taught the lecture. I can fully understand. Sadly I have limited access now since my trial has expired.
It isnt clear the difference between torsion and epidymitis and i would like more images
It was informetive I liked all if it's videos and I will recommend it for all medical student and as well as surgeons
Really nice teaching style and great slides. Thank you so much
I really liked it! It was super informing. and very easy to follow.
I request you to please add more videos and quiz under Surgery
Increase the content for Surgery with procedures demonstrated....I request you to add courses for Post Graduation students
very superficial ............................................................................... not informative, or organized .. although it is very important vital topic
concise and efficient, i liked it .................... may need more videos for enrich the presentation
I would like to suggest that you add more head and neck surgeries like salivary gland surgeries.
great lecture. I am now very clear on the differentials. Thanks
Good material, summary really good, good photos, explanations really accurate
It was puntual and have the more significant information about the topic.
The lectures were concise and straight to point. The questions at the end solidified whatever the Surgeon tried passing across.
I believe that the topics in this course are not covered very will. Many other surgical topics are not even mentioned. For example there is no single topic about ENT. This course is insufficient.
Straight to the point Amazingly understandable I have been able to grasp some concepts not so easy then
Its nice one.. Quiet helpful Easy to catch up Videos are brief
This was a great me get review! It refreshed my anatomy after being away from medicine 5 years and it help me get up to date with the latest surgical protocols.
This is great! I especially like the questions at the end of each lecture. It really keeps me focused! I replay the lecture when I miss too many questions and it helps clue me in on areas/topics/details that I previously zoned out on.
not only in general surgery but also in the internal medicine modules, the speaker only reads the slides without providing any further insight into the topic or even explaining things mentioned on the slides. the speakers obviously are reading off of prompters and are not ready for presenting the topics. Dr Raj, in all internal medicine modules that i've watched so far, does a lot of mistakes and provide several erroneous information that is in addition to his analogies that fall way far from the tree! Sorry but that is my honest opinion.
Excellent, brief and covering the pearls.Clinical dx before Imaging.
Simply, I LOVE IT! the High-yield information is pretty awesome, and the videos tell you tips and knowledge you won't find easily, also, the questions are beautiful, definitely, the best buy I ever made.
The useful information (the various clinical signs) needed to be better explained or demonstrated.
very well explained and pictures and slides are beautifully made
Very easy to understand. Dr. Kevin explains things very calmly.
Professional and focused. Dr. Pei is someone that I would like to work with. Just the facts, but focused on results and care. Thank you!
Los vídeos se están traducidos en los subtítulos, en el momento inadecuado. Van desfasados
Nothing about what to look for on the scan, the exact diagnosis criteria, indicitons for treatment etc.
It was very concise with many important points to remember. Very well explained!
Perfect , i learn a lot thank you so much really it's help me to understand surgery and ably my knowledge by the quizzes
I don't feel it went into enough detail about the different types of bladder cancer
Very informative. I've been trying to look for online resources about sepsis and this video helped me alot in understanding sepsis, Thanks!
Thanks for the nice way to review clinical topics, I love the easy and clear way of presentation
Very useful, practical I've met a pt of diverticulitis but was mis-diagnosed as appendicitis
Ecplained efficiently and accurately . Every thing is shown with good clariity and accuracy
It is useful for anybody who wants to learn accurately and perfectly. All aspects are clearly pfesented
Explained very well in detail, all components or the topic are covered very clearly
Explained in a way to understand very well for all . Presentation is good
Most reliable content with clear and accurate for easy understanding
please try to use the appropriate images, the angiography shown is not from the mesenteries
Clear, simple and short lecture. very useful for doctors/students who want to focus on important information
Very simple and straightforward. Excellent use of the films to show each case - best example I've seen thus far. I always struggle with the radiology terms used in materials, especially if the accompanying graphic isn't clear.
I didn't like it att all because its Very poor and brief. It doesn't include orthopedics
clear and confident knows his stuff. hope he lectures more.
we need more details for preparing of the USMLE step2 CK.
It is perfectly explained, included important facts med students need to learn! Congratulations
The class is good, very easy to learn in short time.
Everything is explained carefully, nicely, slowly, and there's no false information
I liked it very much, he is calm and very interested on making you understand :)
YOU DO NECROSECTOMY ONLY IN CASES OF INFECTED NECROSIS AFTER 4 WEEKS OF ADMISSION
The lectures are simply delivered but detailed. And the review questions are very helpful.
Great lecture, it has everything you need to know, very well explained, you can understand everything very fast with no doubt
liked it very much , and I can not wait to learn more
very informative concise course , more details will make it supercool
Very informative, now i understand the management very well . I really enjoyed this lecture!
His lecture is very cool mood.so My Brain can catch his speech easily.Hope these lectures will help me in my examination.
His way of teaching is excellent. His calm voice and to the point lecutures are amazing to learn from.
Very well explained all the most important points. Would be nice to see more photos.
Dr Pei talkes is a good speaker. I enjoy his lectures. You talk very clear and not to fast. Great to listening to.
Very well explained. Nice questions too. Yet I prefer when all the disease is on the same video.
Need a few questions to make sure we learned what is important.
Very clear and concise explanation. But, could have more questions.
Clarity and accuracy of his making all adds in the topic a simple easily understading one is a best example hidden in his lecture. A clear understanding of a complicated study could be possible even for avarage inteligent reader. 2nd thing is illustrations in every aspect made it highly comprehencive and brief
still superficial , not deep in surgery subject , need more details
It is an impartant topic and is explained well.. Grate work shown in it in all aspects
An excellent lecture. Everything is clear to understand. And to learn Thank you
Every thing is good . Signs and symptoms exactly present in100 persent cases. Very sseful
very well explained but what about dukes astler classification for tumor penetration and linfatic afectation.
When you see the time of videos you said it 's too little but miraculously you can answer a lot of questions about this content.If you want deep learning you must definitely read the article.With the video only will save you your life for an exam.
Clear, encompassing definition of sepsis management. Maybe a little section on the specific doses of medications when talking about initial hemodynamic stabilization would be a good idea.
Very little information is given, I understand lectures need to be easy and contain important information but this is a summary of a summary
Thank you Dr Pei!!! i like the organization of the slides and everything is explained very well.
I think overall orthopedic section is lacking. There are a lot of subjects not covered! I like the lecturio concept but i think they need to make the courses more complete and a little more in debth so that it can be really helpfull for medical school.
Very good information that can make any medical student save life in the emergency room as well get a good score for the exam.
Many thanks Dr. Pei. I appreciate your lectures. They were precise.
Well organised material, cover most salient points within a short time.
The video repeats itself midway through. If that was the entire content then this is very superficial.
These lectures help me recall the lessons and give me very useful clinical pearls
much more details on the diagnosis could have been provided....on the whole I really pleased to find a website like this....please continue to develop the site...its really good
I would have love to learn further about the criteria for performing a head CT eg Canadian Head CT Criteria or others that may be appropriate to guide decision for head CT
I would have loved to learn how the management of burns differs according to the SA affected. Moreover, a discussion on chemical and electrical burns would have also been fantastic
It would have been good to talk about LCIS as well as DCIS particular as the management differs. Also no discussion of the choice between FNAs and CNB in regards to sensitivity and specificity.
I think it would be worthwhile to also focus on upper gi bleeding as well. Also It would extremely handy to learn about working up a patients with suspected GI, ie what investigations you would do first. Toronotes Notes has a wonderful flow chart in the Gastrointestinal chapter
I would have liked to also learn a bit about Hartmans procedure in emergent cases. Discussion of recurrence rates for patients undergoing conservative management
Good talk I would have liked the discussion to also include post operative complications as well as recurrence rates following hernia repair.
The introduction on appendicitis lecture was sharp and to the point. However it can be improved by a discussion of the pathophys ie children or young adult: hyperplasia of lymphoid follicles, initiated by infection, adult: fibrosis/stricture, fecolith, obstructing neoplasm and other causes: parasites, foreign body.
Very good overview of this topic, with highlight on serious pathology and management
Excellent and concise lectures, what is required for core curriculum in surgery. Looking forward to the Trauma and Critical Care series now. Many thanks.
The Lecture is awesome!! It includes many crucial information needed to know in short period of time , and also the lecturer has a soft voice and the skill making the topic easily understood
when it finished please finish it and thank you and hope all of best
