Principles and Techniques for the Aspiring Surgeon

All great surgeons master their craft over many years in the operating room, and much of what they know is learned implicitly-by doing-over countless hours of experience performing surgery. In this must-have guide for medical students and surgical residents, Dr. Keegan Guidolin makes the implicit learning of experienced surgeons explicit so that you can learn the things that nobody thinks to teach you. Topics include the essentials of sutures and needles, how to master common surgical knots, tools and techniques to close and manage wounds, workflow and patient management inside and outside the OR, and more.
