I am a first year medical student interested in surgical specialities and I was looking for a book that teaches the basic skills in surgery. Today medical schools gives poor attention to that subject and this book fills a void. It allowed me to start my training in an early stage. The text is very clear and the illustrations are excellent! Comes with 2 CD-ROM that help to visualize the procedures. Excellent buy!
This book provides a great basic introduction to surgical skills including scrubbing, surgical instruments, obtaining hemostasis (topical, electrocautery and free vessel ligature), an overiview of needle and suture material design and tabulated uses of suture options. Principles of knot-tying (2-handed and instrument-tie for both left and right-handed surgeons) and several basic suture techniques (simple, vert. & horiz. mattress, running, running/lock, intracuticular, deep/subcuticular and purse string) are illustrated nicely and easy to follow. The section on skin flaps is a real asset to the book. It covers fusiform, advancement, rotation, note, bilobe, and rhombic flaps as well as Z-plasty. The CD-rom has several clinical demonstrations of flaps in real patients. I recommend this to any medical student, regarless of your year in school, to get a head-start on some of the skills you will use in the OR during your rotations.
The book is almost great. There is just one HUGE problem. The CD-ROMs are outdated and thus if you have an Apple computer that is from 2009 or newer, or if you upgraded your older mac to Mac OS X Snow leopard or Mountain lion, the CD-ROMs won't even work. It's so out of date it may as well have included floppy discs. One of the biggest draws for this book/CD-ROM set is to have visual guidance, it's a big flop if that visual guidance isn't accessible. If they can update their product I would probably give it 5 stars. Before purchasing this, please check to see if it will even work on your computer. Overall, quite a disappointment to not be able to use it.
Yes, a must to have for all people who wants to make a life at the Operating Room or, at least, at the ER in the Surgery Area or in a General Practice as Phisicians in some places. Excellent for medicine students in theirs 3rd and 4th years, for residents of surgery specialtys in theirs 1st year.
Essential Surgical Skills w/ CD-ROM 2e: as promissed it was the essentials and the illustrations and video Vignettes segments (AMAZING, conscice and to the point so you pratice what is needed); He caters to our multiple senses and ends with several examples of cosmetic corrective procedures with Beautiful Results. Essentials of Surgical Skills an absolute must. I call it amazing but I did spend several 1/2 days practicing and improvising using materials at home. sells the sutures and all the needles required so you can move from practicing with cloth or vinyl to pigs legs....at least until you're perfect stitiching have a strategy in place and practice before using your knowledge on a pigsfoot. Great Surgical Skills for those of us that require visuals, illustration, talk through and a guide and leader that builds confidence with straight forward techniques. I'm soo pretty (Nataly Woods as Maria in West Side Story) or any Veteran of War scarred physically.
Book was helpful, the CD ROM that came with it is ridiculous. So if you can buy this book used without the CD ROM to save money, don't worry, you aren't missing a thing.
An excellent book & DVD for basic surgical training, however need improvement for the quality of the video and animations
Easy to follow. The art work and photos are very nicely done and the video is a great supplement to aid learning.
