The Behind the Knife ABSITE Podcast Companion is a collection of outlines intended to serve as companion study aid to the Behind the Knife podcast ABSITE review series. They are the culmination of notes we have compiled over the years in our own preparation for the ABSITE. What This Review Is:•A thorough review of current clinical management guidelines for the most commonly tested surgical topics.•Designed to be reviewed multiple times in order to: oHelp you score well on the ABSITE.oHelp you pass the general surgery Qualifying Exam and Certifying Exam.oHelp you prepare for clerkships, rotations, and daily rounds. What This Review Isn’t:•This is not surgical trivia – Most currently available study guides are heavy in basic science minutia. We are not going to tell you the components of the coagulation cascade. We are going to focus of key components of clinical management of surgical disease based on current guideline. This is the direction the general surgery boards are going, and there is less and less basic science showing up on the ABSITE and the boards. oOther review books will tell you that the APC gene is on chromosome 5, but will they tell you what the current guidelines say regarding the surgical management of axilla with node positive breast CA? Probably not, but we will. •This is not an exhaustive study guide. This is simply what we view and the most distilled down, high yield, need to know information for the ABSITE and the general surgery boards.
