Surgery MCQs and Vivas is designed as a companion to Fundamentals of Surgical Practice, by Aljafri Majid and Andrew Kingsnorth, and is split into two main sections; multiple choice questions and viva topics, reflecting the structure of two of the key components of many postgraduate surgical examinations worldwide, including the MRCS and AFRCSEd. The MCQ and viva questions provided are typical of those that will appear in the MRCS examination, and answers, along with detailed explanatory notes are provided throughout. Each of the two sections is further subdivided into sub-sections reflecting the topics covered in Fundamentals of Surgical Practice, and the model answers in all cases are cross-referenced to the relevant sections of this comprehensive text to enhance the learning experience for the reader, who can instantly get detailed information on a topic of interest.
