    Surgical Sessions - Anatomy of the Thigh, Groin and Popliteal fossa

    In this episode of Surgical Sessions from the Ministry of Surgery, we dive into the essential surgical anatomy of the thigh, groin, and popliteal fossa. We explore the osteology and anatomy, vascular and neural anatomy, and fascial compartments, with a focus on structures that every plastic surgeon must know. Clinical correlations are highlighted throughout — from approaches to groin dissection, sartorial flap to popliteal dissection, relevant to common exam scenarios. The session is tailored for surgical trainees, with an emphasis on preparing for the FRCAS FRCS (Plast) and Board examinations. Complex topics are broken down into an engaging and understandable format, making it easier to consolidate key knowledge and recall high-yield facts when it matters most. Whether you’re revising anatomy for the first time in years, or sharpening your exam preparation, this episode provides a structured yet practical review to strengthen your surgical foundation.

    Surgical Sessions - Interview Tips - Dr Oliver Hovav

    Our theme in this episode is interview tips. If you are considering a career in Plastic Surgery or any specialty really - this is a key step to getting onto the programme. My guest is Dr Oliver Hovav. Oliver has been a plastic surgery PHO in Queensland for the last few years. In the recent interviews he was the only successful candidate to be appointed to the plastic surgery registrar training programme in Queensland. As you can imagine, this is a highly competitive process and there were many great candidates. Oliver kindly shares his experience through the interview process, from application, references and tips on how he prepared on the day. A fascinating insight is that Oliver started off as nursing student and worked as a theatre scrub nurse. He talks to us about that experience and what made him change to pursue medicine and ultimately plastic surgery. In between interview tips we also explore his favourite travels, greatest mentors in plastic surgery and of course his favourite songs! Thank you for listening. Dr Milap Rughani
