Computer skills among trainee doctors.

Computer skills are an essential part of every field, including medicine. However, training in computers is limited mainly to clerical and paramedical staff. We conducted this questionnaire survey to assess the extent of training and the opinion of trainee doctors in obstetrics and gynaecology in Wales. The results showed that the computer skills among these doctors was low and the majority of them agreed that there was a need for training in computer skills to assist them in their career progress. In view of the findings of this survey, we feel that incorporation of computer skills courses in the training curriculum must be of benefit.

Omentopexy for reconstruction of the perineum following a radical vulvectomy: a case report.

Colorectal surgeons have used omentum based on the left gastric epiploic vessels after any major operation in the pelvis(1). Omental flaps reach very well into the pelvis by the retrocolic route and have been used in the past for better and quicker healing of perineal defects following abdominoperineal resections(2,3). Omentum has excellent healing properties, which can be, used even as free flaps(4).

Survival in ovarian cancer in Wales: Prior to introduction of all Wales guidelines.

The objective of the study was to review referral practice, overall management, and survival in women with suspected ovarian cancer in Wales. This study was done prior to introduction of cancer management guidelines in the region. A confidential study questionnaire was sent to 20 participating hospitals. Data on 287 consecutive women with suspected ovarian cancer were collected, of which 250 women underwent primary laparotomy. Information was obtained on referral pattern, preoperative investigations, place of primary surgery, specialty of the primary surgeon, surgical parameters recorded at the time of operation, a final overall stage, adjuvant treatment, and survival outcome. There was a wide variation in referral practice and management of ovarian cancer in Wales. Stage of the disease, attempt at optimal debulking, residual disease, management by a cancer centre multidisciplinary team, and platinum-based chemotherapy were associated with improved overall survival and progression-free survival. More women were alive if managed in the cancer centre at 1 and 3 year after diagnosis (P = 0.022). This study has highlighted the acute issue of the standards of clinical care in the area of ovarian cancer management and will emphasize the implementation of better care pathways for ovarian cancers.
