Another lost tribe: Quantifying the experience of international medical graduates applying for a national training number (NTN) in the United Kingdom with a cross-sectional study.

Background: International medical graduates (IMGs) have a primary medical qualification obtained from outside their country of practice. In the United Kingdom (UK), postgraduate medical training after foundation years involves obtaining a national training number (NTN) in their specialty of choice by national selection. In this paper, we aim to quantify how IMGs feel to obtain an NTN and what unique obstacles they may face in doing so.

Pancreatico-enteric fistula post pancreatic duct ligation for delayed haemorrhage complicating pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Introduction: Pancreatic fistula remains the main cause for postoperative morbidity following pancreaticoduodenectomy. The coincidence of sentinel bleed prior to post pancreatectomy haemorrhage (PPH) and pancreatic fistula is associated with very high mortality.

Presentation Of Case: We report a case of pancreaticoduodenectomy complicated by postoperative leak and hematemesis.

Surgical management of complicated intra-mural duodenal hematoma: A case-report and review of literature.
