Summary
Medical students achieve higher general surgery scores using traditional methods like lectures and textbooks. Artificial intelligence tools are currently underutilized in surgical education, despite their potential benefits.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Surgical Training
- Academic Performance
Background:
- General surgery clerkships are crucial for medical students' development.
- Identifying optimal study resources is key to enhancing student performance.
- Understanding current study habits and technology adoption is essential.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify the most beneficial resources for medical students during their general surgery clerkship.
- To investigate the correlation between study methods and general surgery scores.
- To assess the current utilization of artificial intelligence in general surgery education.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective survey was conducted among Jordanian medical students from six universities.
- A 7-item questionnaire assessed general surgery study methods and academic scores.
- Descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests were employed for data analysis.
Main Results:
- Instructor lectures (48.2%) were the most common study method.
- Students using instructor lectures and surgery textbooks achieved the highest grades.
- A statistically significant relationship (P < 0.05) was found between study methods and academic achievement.
Conclusions:
- Traditional learning methods, including instructor lectures and textbooks, remain highly effective for maximizing general surgery scores.
- Medical students are not fully leveraging artificial intelligence resources for their studies.
- Further integration and exploration of AI in surgical education are warranted.

139
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

176
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

01:22Appendicitis-I: Introduction
110
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

101
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:
