Basics of vascular operations

So, you're a medical student who has just started a vascular surgical attachment. You have no idea what the surgeons are talking about when they are discussing the operations on the list tomorrow. How are you going to find out what it all means?
Help is at hand: Keaton Jones explains the basics of all the common vascular operations, from anatomy, though indication to the operations themselves in this video podcast.
This is essential viewing for all medical students on a surgical placement and for any students interested in a career in surgery.
This is the second in the "Basics of..." series. You might want to view our other podcasts on aneurysms, amputations and varicose veins after you've seen this one, which discuss vascular surgery and pathology in more detail.
Keaton Jones is an Academic Clinical Fellow at the University of Oxford, UK
