3 Foreword One of the most important functions of the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) is Teaching & Training. In fact, SGH prides itself in being responsible for the biggest share in postgraduate medical training in Singapore. It is well known that SGH is the first hospital responsible for both Undergraduate and Postgraduate Medical teaching in Singapore. With the publication of this book, we confirm our strong commitment to this long tradition in Medical Education. In the choice of topics for the book, we took into consideration what is current and relevant in surgical practice in a very busy tertiary acute General Hospital (where half of the admissions comes through the portal of the Emergency Department and where the other half is electively admitted). The final content depended, to a great extent, on the choice of Surgeon Authors who were authorities in the topics they wrote. These were busy clinicians and teachers and under the dedicated supervision of our editor who are an anaesthesiologist and a surgeon, we hope this book will be treasured by all who train in surgery at SGH. The prime purpose of this book is to educate. The reason why we need to educate is to produce the next and subsequent generations of surgeons who will be required to look after patients, not only in Singapore but also, to a smaller extent, the surrounding region. The other important reason in producing this book is to document the current practice of surgery for posterity, so that those who come after can xi

4 xii Foreword build on the processes and structure that have been put into place. Finally, the strongest of reasons for this book is for the care of our patients. It is because of them and for them that this is published, so that we can always strive to improve their care. Boon-Keng Tay

5 Preface Singapore General Hospital (SGH) is the largest public sector hospital in Singapore. Established in 1821, SGH serves as the nation s main tertiary care and acute care hospital. Within the grounds of SGH are 21 specialty departments with close links to the four national centres (National Cancer Centre Singapore, National Heart Centre, Singapore National Eye Centre and the National Dental Centre) within the same compound. With a strong tradition of clinical excellence, SGH has been intimately involved in the training and teaching of both undergraduate medical students from the National University of Singapore and postgraduate students in the various specialties and sub-specialties of medicine since the days when the Medical Faculty was located at the Sepoy Lines (the current location of the Ministry of Health). SGH also prides itself on having extended training opportunities to clinical fellows and students from all over the world. The chapters in this book are written by surgeons, radiologists and anaesthesiologists from this hospital. Together with basic surgical principles, the unique local experiences and perspectives are presented. There are two parts to this book. Part I of the book deals with the principles of management of acute surgical emergencies. These emergencies include craniofacial, otorhinolaryngological, cardiovascular and thoracic, gastrointestinal, gynaecological, urological, perianal, orthopaedic and hand, as well as those involving the soft tissue and skin. The xiii

6 xiv Preface importance of computed tomography imaging in blunt abdominal trauma and the role of interventional radiology in acute haemorrhage; as well as peri-operative anaesthetic care of the patient requiring acute surgical management are described in Part II of the book.
