Medical Student And Faculty Perceptions Of Undergraduate Surgical Training In The South African And Swedish Tertiary Institutions: A Cross-Sectional Survey.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare medical student and faculty perceptions of undergraduate surgical training and compare results between South Africa and Sweden.

Patients And Methods: An electronic, online questionnaire was anonymously distributed to medical students and surgical faculty at the University of Cape Town (UCT), South Africa, and the Karolinska Institutet (KI), Sweden. The questionnaire explored the perceptions of medical students and surgical faculty regarding the current undergraduate surgical curriculum, as well as existing clinical and theoretical instructional methods.

An analysis of early postoperative complications following biliary reconstruction of major bile duct injuries using the Modified Accordion and Anatomic, Timing Of and Mechanism classifications.

Background: Few studies have reported patient outcome after surgical repair of bile duct injury using a standardized, validated classification system. This is the first analysis to investigate the correlation between the Anatomic, Timing Of and Mechanism classification of bile duct injury and severity of postoperative complications classified using the Modified Accordion Grading System.

Methods: Patients undergoing index hepaticojejunostomy repair of bile duct injury in laparoscopic cholecystectomy at a tertiary referral center from 1993-2018 were included.
