The teaching, more specifically, provides the student with the basics of the "decision-making process in the surgical patient", so in an emergency situation and urgency, as in non-emergency situations, with the acquisition of skills and the autonomous ability to correctly carry out the path from the symptoms and signs to the diagnosis. AIMS AND CONTENT AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES With more specific reference to Semeiotics and Clinical - Surgical Methodology, the student is required to progressively acquire the cognitive tools, methodology and behavior, enabling them to: • Understand the etiology, epidemiology, risk factors and pathophysiology of the clinical picture in question for a correct differential diagnosis ; • Recognize the clinical manifestations of surgical diseases, through the proper collection of the clinical history and the correct application of the objective exam ; • Know how to develop a basic differential diagnosis through a logical interpretation of the diagnostic laboratory, radiological, and instrumental exams ; • Understand the principles of surgical or non-surgical management of the clinical case ; • To be able to give a correct prognosis for surgical treatment of the case and how to prevent possible complications. TEACHING METHODS TEACHING METHODS - Plenary Lectures in Classroom - Training Seminars - Educational / Professional Training (for small groups of students) on the Hospital Ward, in Outpatient Clinics, and in the Operating Room / Radiological – Instrumental Diagnostics -Training Exercises at the Center for Advanced Simulation (CSA) Attendance is mandatory, with distributed hours, according to the type of activities and in relation to the Educational Credits (CFU) provided for the 3rd Year - 1st Semester for the Discipline of General Surgery MED / 18 - Integrated Course of Semeiotica and Clinical Methodology: 5 CFU, of which 2 CFUP (1 CFU = 25 hours). The detailed Calendar of Educational Activities is specified, each academic year, in the Student Guide published online. SYLLABUS/CONTENT - History in the Surgical Patient - Physical Examination: A) Regional (head, neck, chest, abdomen and limbs), B) Organ / System, with particular reference to Semeiotics (Physical and Instrumental), to the Diseases of the Arteries, the Veins and the Lymphatics (Lymphedemas and their differential diagnosis), to Abdominal Pain, to Painful Abdominal Points, to the Abdominal Objective Exam (in General) and to the Acute Abdomen.
