Abstract

The global burden of surgical disease has become a popular topic in surgical journals and at conferences over the last few years. As a result more and more surgeons and surgical trainees are volunteering for humanitarian work in developing countries. The experiences gained by a surgeon abroad improve clinical and surgical skills, introduce clinical diagnoses rarely seen in the developed world and help to provide perspective. Recent publications go so far as to suggest that surgical missions should become an intrinsic part of surgical training.
