Surviving and succeeding in surgery: Technical and Human Training Manual for Future Surgeons

Intended for surgical interns and residents, this handbook offers practical and humane guidance in their first steps in the operating theatre. Combining knowledge, know-how and interpersonal skills, it covers both the technical basics of surgery (asepsis, instruments, sutures, perioperative care, etc.) and dimensions that are often neglected: communication, stress management, empathy, teamwork. Clearly structured, illustrated and accessible, it aims to bridge the gap between taught theory and hospital reality. A true field guide, this book aims to train complete, competent and humane surgeons, while serving as a pedagogical tool for trainers. It is part of an approach based on transmission, high standards and benevolence.
