This book describes those skills in a concise and
systematic way, in surgery in general, and in ten
different speciality areas. Although intended mainly
for clinical-level medical students and junior doctors,
other people who assist at surgical operations,
including general practitioners, nurse assistants and
surgical technologists, will also find it useful.
Whether planning a career in surgery, or simply
aiming for high marks in a surgical rotation, there
are few better ways to impress a surgeon than by
skilfully assisting at surgical operations.
