The field of surgery continues to change and develop for patient care, research and education. With growing technology through new studies from research to innovative work, the quality of patientcare is of highest value and need for each surgeon to stay update to date on current trends and outcomes. It is imperative for surgeons to stay abreast from the surgical findings from etiology, abnormalities, diseases, pathology to the state of the art surgical treatment for the patient.
