I don't know of anyone who has done a full surgery residency after a full radiology one -- though the field of interventional radiology does offer a mixture of surgical procedures mixed with radiology

What would be you reason for wanting to go into surgery? You have already spend 5 years on your Radiology residency. If you want to do procedures do a fellowship in Interventional Radiology.

i can't imagine it's very common. after experiencing how stressful surgery residency can be, the vast majority of people switch out of surgery into something else, like anesthesiology or radiology. not many people want to switch into surgery.
