Store description excerpt
Origins and purpose The history of Surgery Update is at once illuminating and illustrious. What began as an informal one-day exercise has now become a mammoth programme lasting the better part of a week each year. It started with the objective of updating as well as revising the existing knowledge in surgery, aimed specifically at the postgraduate resident. Many postgraduates all over the country feel that they lack structured didactic inputs. Universities and colleges make genuine efforts to provide the same, but due to overwhelming clinical pressures didactic teaching takes the back seat. Learning is more by way of example, observation and inference and sometimes by discussion. The theoretical framework is left to be acquired by the postgraduate. But can an edifice be built without a sound foundation? Surgery Update was born to redress this anomaly. Why an “Update,” not just another conference In today’s scenario of multiple conferences and updates, it is difficult to imagine a time when these were few and far between. But a conference is not as useful to a postgraduate as the Update is, since it addresses recent developments and analyses the experiences of different surgeons. We aim to fill in the gaps in knowledge, as well as facilitate revision. Generations of delegates — and how the format evolved We now have participants who have attended a series of updates starting as postgraduates, and are now faculty or in successful practice. The faculty for the scientific sessions came in good spirit for the cause of education, since we had no frills to offer. We had only one slide projector operated by one of our technicians who used to sit through the entire week. God forbid if he fell asleep or the projector broke down. But no, we had no mishaps. Now we have professional operators on double projection. We have video projection, multiple monitors and, for operative demonstrations, even large TV screens. Case discussions, lunch, and accommodation The most popular part of the Update that has remained unchanged over the years is the case discussion. This is an exercise that has received praise in all the evaluations. These come after another update special: the lunch. Over the years a carefully prepared and tasty lunch has been served, albeit heavy. This may, perhaps, change to a more business-like lunch in the future. We used to provide accommodation in the hostels — not luxurious but adequate. However, with the increased intake of students, hostel rooms are not available. Moreover, delegates now expect a certain minimum of comfort, which may not be available in the hostels at short notice. Surgical technology and live teaching It is the rising tide of surgical technology that has changed the face of modern surgery. We, the organizers of Surgery Update, had to respond to new developments because today’s trainee surgeon has to face this challenge. The pendulum has swung from bigger the better to small is beautiful. The advent of transurethral
