General Surgery, Urology, Gynaecology and Plastics

You sadly won't find any CRQ questions on straightforward appendicectomies.

Most of the CRQ's from this part of the curriculum are Urological in nature, with renal transplant and TURP featuring three times between them

The section on breast surgery is possibly the most expendable for those short on time,though there was a March 2018 SAQ on free-flap breast surgery.
