Basic Surgical Techniques

Monograph

This successful title for surgical trainees gives clear, concise guidance on all aspects of acquiring surgical skills to ensure operative success. The full range of surgical procedures is reviewed in a clear "how-to-do-it" style, which consolidates the skills learnt in theatre. This edition has been updated with additional information on laparoscopic procedures and minimal access surgery. The book concentrates on the principles behind surgical procedures rather than overwhelm the reader with unnecessary detail of specific operations. It is organized for readability with key points boxes to introduce each chapter and reviews and comments from expert contributors in different surgical subspecialties concluding each chapter.
