NEET SS 22 will be a 150 marks broad specialties paper. The date of the exam is yet to be announced however, topics like Plastic Surgery, Pediatric Surgery , NeuroSurgery and CTVS will be game changers
Your Surgery MCH preparation should include all the broad specialities.
We at MCQsurgery has been constantly including these topics on our weekly discussions on Whatsapp and 2 weekly mock tests
Q1) Which of the following is true about Langer's line of the skin?
a) These are in the direction of muscle fibres.
b) These are perpendicular to the long axis of underlying muscle fibres
c) Most favourable incision is circular over an exposed area
d) Most favorable incision is a rhomboid shaped one over an exposed area
1) b
Langer's lines are useful indicators to design skin incisions and diminish tension across incisions. These lines are perpendicular to underlying muscle. Most favourable incision is an elliptical incision with a length/breadth ratio of 4:1.
Q2) The repair of cleft lip should be done at which age
a) 1 month
b) 3 months
c) 6 months
d) 1 year
2) b
Principles of cleft lip repair include layered repair of the skin, muscle, and mucous membrane to restore symmetrical length and function.
The timing of cleft repair is important and a general recommendation is lip repair at 3 months, palate repair before 12 months, and alveolar bone grafting at approximately 9 years.
Q3) Not true about W plasty in scar revision
a) W plasty converts a long lengthy incision to several irregular incisions
b) Small triangular flaps are created on the opposite side with sides not more than 6 mm
c) Outer triangles must be larger in both sides
d)Corner angles should be less than 60 degree
3)d
Corner angles should not be more than 90 degrees.
W plasty is used for revision of large irregular scars, semicircular and curvilinear incisions.
Q4) Fastest promoter of epithelialization in wound healing occurs with
a) Tight approximation of wound edges
b) Occlusive dressing
c) Leaving the wound open
d) Steroid Application
4) b
Occlusive dressings come in the form of 1) films, 2) hydrogels, and 3) hydrocolloids.
They are associated with the highest rate of epithelisation

b) Excess skin folds
c) Good bony contour
d) Female sex
