The Surgical Assistant: A Manual for Students, Practitioners, Hospital, Internes and Nurses (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Surgical Assistant: A Manual for Students, Practitioners, Hospital, Internes and Nurses
Surgical text-books, even those that deal most minutely with operative technics, make but scant reference to the duties of the surgeon's assistants. And yet the skill of the assistants is scarcely less important than the skill of the sur geon himself. In an operation the surgeon must depend, not only upon the experience and the caution of the anesthetist, but also upon the familiarity with aseptic details, the fore sight and adaptability, and the coolness in emergency of those who aid him in the mechanical procedure itself.
If we except a brochure by Dr. Carl Lauenstein Der Assistenzarzt - Which in neither scope nor execution has anything in common with this book, nothing known to the author has been written upon this important subject. The volume he presents is then, a pioneer, and as such, no doubt, has its shortcomings.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the often overlooked yet crucial role of the surgical assistant. In a time when surgical textbooks focused primarily on the techniques of the surgeon, this pioneering work sheds light on the importance of skilled and knowledgeable assistants in ensuring patient safety and successful outcomes. The author emphasizes the assistant's responsibility not only in mastering technical skills such as handling instruments, maintaining asepsis, and providing support at the wound site but also in understanding the broader context of each procedure. The book offers practical guidance on assisting in examinations, preparing for operations, and providing post-operative care. Through detailed descriptions and illustrations, readers gain insights into various surgical procedures, including those involving the head, throat, chest, abdomen, and extremities. The author underscores the significance of anticipating the surgeon's needs, maintaining a calm demeanor, and demonstrating respect for both the patient and the surgical team. Ultimately, this book highlights the surgical assistant's contribution as an integral member of the healthcare team, whose expertise and dedication play a vital role in the art and science of surgery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
