Research for a character I’m working with.

This book is not to be missed. It's a wonderful companion for surgical trainees, encompassing a wide range of topics pertaining to surgical practice, starting with what to do with your hands at your first scrub, and ending with the basics of minimal access surgery. Of course its illustration of certain procedures and manoeuvres isn't clear enough, and the full grasping of such areas necessitates seeing them done step by step, before embarking on real practice.

good and supportive

It's a book on how to do it, not what to do. That much is clear.

Un piccolo manuale di tecnica e filosofia dell'arte chirurgica. TUTTI i medici dovrebbero leggerlo prima di frequentare un qualsiasi reparto chirurgico. Troviamo dai nodi ai modi di impugnare un bisturi, dal " galateo" dell'assistente alla forma delle mani del chirurgo. Molto interessante per gli addetti ai lavori e un po' affascinante per chi non lo è
