How Should I Prepare Surgery for NEET PG?

 Surgery is one of the most important disciplines to study for NEET PG, yet the concepts of surgery may be readily accomplished if addressed systematically. Surgery is one of the most important subjects in the NEET PG exam and has a relatively high weightage. Nearly 80% of surgery is included in the fundamentals, so make sure you know them right. Most people concentrate on challenging subjects while overlooking the fundamentals, which is a mistake because the fundamentals, such as Head & Neck, Breast, and Abdomen, are high-yielding.

The subject is all about the fundamentals; if you understand your fundamentals, it will be very easy for you to prepare surgery for NEET PG. So, the first step is to gain conceptual clarity. Some disciplines, such as surgery, are not meant to be memorized; you must first understand the concepts to approach the subject with ease and then begin the preparation. Make sure you don't miss any lectures and make notes regularly to speed up the process of studying before the PG Entrance Exam.

Strengthen procedural skills after getting a conceptual understanding of the theory part. The question pattern of the NEET PG Entrance Exam is case-based. Therefore, strengthening procedural skills will help a lot at the time of examination. So, try to get maximum exposure to case-based discussions and clinical case scenarios which are given paramount importance in NEET PG/NEXT Exam.

Memorize with the help of Surgery IBQs & VBQs. Rely on material that is richly illustrated with clinical, radiological images along with flowcharts, tables, and boxes. This is necessary to enhance the understanding of the viewers and helps in a quick recall. Case taking and clinical examination form the basis of the practice in medicine. Learn from discussions on the basics of system-wise examination.

The most sought-after book for Surgery is Dr. Sriram Bhat’s “SRB’s Manual of Surgery”. Newer approaches to cancer treatment and staging have been documented. Wherever possible, surgical anatomy has been included. All of the key chapters of general surgery are covered in detail, as are the most common conditions. The readers are also introduced to numerous surgical specialties and given foundational and practical knowledge that is needed for both students of surgery and practising surgeons.

You can enroll in an online surgery course like the one on DigiNerve- Surgery for UnderGrads. It provides comprehensive surgery lectures by Dr. Sriram Bhat (SRB) along with MCQs and surgery notes. If you watch his videos in addition to reading his book mentioned above, you will have a greater understanding of the concepts. SRB’s Surgery course is an all-inclusive resource that acts as a one-stop solution for all undergraduate students' study needs as it provides 220 hrs of video lecture, 2500+ MCQs, and 161 topics in notes.

Clinical examination and differential diagnosis have been given top priority throughout the course. This will aid in the development of the student's critical comprehension to effectively evaluate, diagnose, and manage the patient. Dr. Bhat also demonstrated how to conduct a clinical examination in a variety of situations in real-life clinical scenarios, as well as the fundamentals of general surgery. This will aid in the development of concepts for all kids. Surgical anatomy is a crucial element of operational surgery, and it has been covered alongside the majority of the structures and systems to provide students with a thorough understanding.
