McGraw-Hill Education Australia ebook Fundamental Skills for Surgery

Thoroughly revised and updated to reflect current Australian and New Zealand practices, this third edition of Fundamental Skills for Surgery considers not only the basic instrument, tissue-handling and suturing techniques, but also a wide range of non-technical skills. The full range of surgical skills are explained, following a logical progression from the initial chapters focusing on surgical conduct, safety and surgical instruments, to more complex issues such as wound management, anaesthesia and laparoscopic surgery. The book maintains the tone and feel of an instructional manual, and the reader is guided through procedures that have clear descriptions of surgical principles and more than 200 step-by-step illustrations. Written by the Australian and New Zealand Surgical Skills Education and Training (ASSET) Committee of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, this is the authoritative guide for all surgical trainees and those requiring an understanding of surgical procedures.
