Surgical volunteerism as a collaborative teaching activity can benefit surgical residents in low-middle income countries.

Surgical care is desperately needed in low-middle income countries (LMIC). Due to small numbers of faculty in local training programs, residents have limited exposure to subspecialists. We describe a teaching activity between visiting surgeons from the U.

Transition to Practice: A Global Surgery Approach.

Objective: To determine the feasibility of a global surgery setting for a transition to practice experience.

Setting: A rural hospital in Malawi, Africa.

Participants: A recent graduate of a U.

Loma Linda Global Surgery Elective: First 1000 Cases.

Objective: To determine the nature and volume of surgical cases being performed by US general surgery residents during a global surgery elective.

Design: Retrospective review of case logs from 2012 to 2016.

Setting: Malamulo Mission Hospital is a rural hospital in southern Malawi.

A simplified protocol for evaluating and monitoring urethral stricture patients minimizes cost without compromising patient outcome.

Uroflowmetry, urethrocystoscopy and urethrography are either not readily available or the cost is prohibitive for many patients in low-resource countries. This paper examines the use of clinical history in post-urethroplasty follow-up. We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of 54 post-urethroplasty patients.
