Surgery is an important part of medical science. General Surgery is a professional basic course for clinical medical surgery and general practitioners. The category of surgery is formed in the entire history of medical development and is constantly updated. It includes many diseases and involves knowledge of the etiology, occurrence, development, pathology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of these diseases. Through the study of the general theory of Surgery, students can comprehend the basic knowledge, basic theories and basic operational skills of Surgery.General Surgery mainly explains the basic knowledge and basic theories of surgical diseases, namely the etiology, development rules, pathology, clinical manifestations, systematic examinations, diagnosis points, differential diagnosis, principles of prevention and treatment, and surgical indications of surgical diseases. At the same time, it is necessary to learn basic surgical skills, for training medical students to establish a strict concept of aseptic, get standardized aseptic operations and basic surgical techniques.The teaching process of General Surgery includes lectures and internships, at the same time, in order to expand students' knowledge, some chapters are arranged as self-study content. The lecture content is mainly based on basic theories, focusing on common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases, implementing a prevention-oriented policy, appropriately introducing new achievements in medicine at home and abroad, reflecting the development level of modern medical science, and emphasizing the combination of basic theories and clinical. For the content to be “mastered“, the teacher should speak thoroughly, and the students should comprehend the basic knowledge or basic theories so that they can be used in clinical practice; for the content to be “familiar“, the teacher should focus on the explanation, and the students should get the key points on the basis of a comprehensive understanding of its content; teachers can give a general explanation of the content to be “understood“, while students have a general understanding of it. For the content of self-study, different requirements are also made for students during self-study.In the experimental part, students' enthusiasm in learning surgery is enhanced through surgical experiments, it will enable students to establish a strict concept of aseptic operation and master the basic skills of surgical operations such as washing hands, wearing surgical gowns, wearing sterile gloves, disinfection, draping, incision, separation, hemostasis, ligation, suture, and drainage. Students should familiar with basic surgical methods such as appendectomy, splenectomy, gastrointestinal repair, bowel resection and anastomosis. This part will strengthen the basic knowledge of students and lay a good foundation for their clinical practice.The study of General Surgery must implement the principle of combining theory with practice, pay attention to the study of basic knowledge, basic theories and basic skills of surgery, study business skills assiduously, strive for perfection, and strive to improve the ability to serve the people.
