Publisher's Synopsis
This classic text teaches a solid foundation of surgical principles and techniques, while maintaining the fundamental focus of perioperative skills: the care of the surgical patient as a unique individual. The ninth edition has been reorganized into 12 sections, building the knowledge of surgical principles and techniques in a logical sequence from fundamental concepts to implementation during surgical intervention. The first 11 sections cover the foundations of surgical principles and techniques. The last section reviews the most commonly performed surgical interventions. Includes new chapters on Microbiology and Infectious Conditions and Potential Perioperative Complications.
