A Handbook of Operative Surgery and Surgical Anatomy with Chapters on Instruments presents the methods, techniques, and instruments used in operative surgery and surgical anatomy. The book covers broad aspects of surgical procedures and methods that are practiced in operating rooms. The text provides instructions and details on operations on various parts of the body such as the stomach, neck, central and sympathetic nervous systems, bones, and thorax. Methods of amputations, ligation of arteries, selection and use of instruments for operations and the electro-surgical methods of operation are elaborated as well. Surgeons, physicians, and those working in medical operating rooms will find the text invaluable.

Surgical Anatomy and Technique book provides step-by-step techniques of a wide range of general surgery procedures and reviews the anatomical entities involved in each operation. The book's scope spans the entire body: neck, breast, skin and scalp, abdominal wall and herniae, esophagus, diaphragm, stomach, duodenum, small intestines, pancreas, appendix, colon and anorectum, extrahepatic biliary tract, liver, spleen, adrenal glands, carpal tunnel, and varicosities of the lower extremity. Clear and generously illustrated, this is a superb reference material to refresh the surgical resident's memory before entering the operating room.
