, Preface to 1st Edition
While preparing for the FRCS Plastic Surgery exam, one is surprised about
the paucity of books to practice focused, exam-oriented questions with
appropriate explanation for the answers. Although a comprehensive
understanding of the essential principles in Plastic Surgery can only be
obtained by reading established textbooks, in the lead-up to the exam it is
vital to recall and test the acquired knowledge by solving sample exam
questions. This is particularly important for the first part of the FRCS Plastic
Surgery exam, in which candidates are tested by means of Single Best
Answer and Extended Matching Question formats.
Plastic Surgery Exam Questions and Answers is written with the specific
aim of helping candidates preparing for the Plastic Surgical exit exam. Each
question is followed by a correct answer and an informative but concise
explanation. With over 350 questions, both in Single Best Answer and
Extended Matching Question formats, we hope this book will be a valuable
companion for those preparing for the FRCS Plastic Surgery examination in
the United Kingdom as well as those taking similar examinations elsewherein
the world. In addition, with the proposed re certification process, whichmay
include a theoretical component, it is envisaged that this book mayalso serve
as a useful resource for those already qualified.
Although we have attempted to cover most of the syllabus for the FRCS
Plastic Surgery examination, due to the wide range of conditions and
disorders covered by this speciality, it needs to be acknowledged that
covering every topic in-depth is beyond the scope of this book. It is hence
suggested that this book is used in conjunction with time-honoured Plastic
Surgical textbooks and used as a complementary resource rather than to
supplement existing text books.
