The SRS aims to provide a forum for the interchange of information about research related to surgery and surgical disease. Membership of the SRS is largely constituted of practising surgeons and those occupied in surgical research. Membership rules are available from this site. The teaching materials available from this site are specifically aimed at those preparing for postgraduate surgical examinations. An additional feature is an archive of articles from published surgical literature, which are relevant to general surgical practice.
Subscription is by owner and requires some demonstration of medical qualifications.
A radiology case study for each month of the year, from 1995 to 1999, from the Brigham and Women's Hospital Surgical Planning Lab. This laboratory aims to bring together computer science and MRI radiology to reach the goal of real-time 3D imaging of patients during surgery. Case studies for 1999 include the development of a 3D computer model of prostate cancer, and MRIs and 3D reconstruction of a tumour in the motor cortex. The home page of the RCS offers a wealth of information about the college and its activities. Guidelines on basic surgical training, MRCS regulations, WIST, information on courses and news from the Surgical Epidemiology and Audit Unit can all be found here.
