About CALOT
CALOT is a surgical teaching resource designed and developed by Dr Prasad Bhukebag for residents and practising surgeons.
The site supports learning and revision. It does not replace clinical judgement, supervised training or local protocols. Read the full disclaimer.
Sources and editorial approach
Teaching pages display their source-review date and link to the supporting literature. Evidence labels distinguish guidelines, trials, reviews, observational studies and expert opinion. They identify source types, not certainty grades.
Uncertainty and known source-verification limits are stated alongside the relevant material. A review date does not mean that every cited paper has been independently re-verified in full.
Published figures carry source and licence information in their captions. Teaching illustrations are labelled. See the references and guide to evidence labels.
Image and font credits
Image permissions vary by source; follow the licence stated with each figure. Several published figures are licensed for non-commercial use. The bundled fonts use the SIL Open Font Licence: Figtree, Newsreader and DM Mono.
Image update: 26 October 2026
The teaching material combines published images, selected earlier AI illustrations and revised anatomical atlas illustrations. Each figure identifies its type and source. The new illustrations explain duct connections, arterial patterns, retraction, CVS and injury classifications. Clinical pathways retain their box-and-arrow format. Published images retain their source labels and orientation; individual reuse terms remain in the captions.
