Talk:Vascular surgery

The words "interventional neuroradiologists" in the opening paragraph link not to a page about the profession or even radiologists in general, but rather to a scholarly journal with a similar title. This seems improper, no? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.66.93.252 (talk) 03:56, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

ANZSVS-related suggested updates

The development of endovascular surgery has been accompanied by a gradual separation of vascular surgery from its origins in general surgery. Most vascular surgeons would now confine their practice to vascular surgery and similarly, general surgeons would not be trained or practice the larger vascular surgery operations or most endovascular procedures. More recently, professional vascular surgery societies and their training program have formally separated "Vascular Surgery" into a separate specialty with its own training program, meetings, accreditation. Notable societies are Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS), USA; Australian and New Zealand Society for Vascular Surgery (ANZSVS). Local societies also exist e.g. New South Wales Vascular and Melbourne Vascular Surgery Association (MVSA). Larger societies of surgery actively separate and encourage specialty surgical societies under their umbrella e.g. Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS).

The information below was an isolated paragraph in the Scope section of the article. Although it contains infromation relevant to vascular surgery it is isolated from any context.

It is unclear on the benefits and harms of wound drainage after lower limb arterial surgery.
