This second edition is in response to the acceptance of the first edition and the continued need for such a book for both veterinary students and large animal practitioners. The purpose of this book is to present some fundamental techniques in large animal surgery to both veterinary students and large animal practitioners. It's designed to be brief, discussing only the major steps in a particular operation, and each discussion is accompanied by appropriate illustrations. Most of the techniques presented can be performed without the advantages of a fully equipped large animal hospital or teaching institution. All of the drawings in the book are original and based on rough sketches and photographs taken at various points during actual surgery.

Basic Surgical Techniques Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I was a medical student, I was frustrated by the lack of a good source for learning the things that I somehow seemed to be expected to know on the first day of my surgery rotation, in particular how to tie good knots of an appropriate type, reliably, quickly, and almost automatically.
This wonderful little book fit the bill admirably. Several of my friends at other medical schools subsequent bought it and thanked me for the tip.

Surgical Knots and Suturing Techniques, second edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was surprised to find that the book was only 40 pages long. The illustrations are good and the information is presented in a concise and efficient manner. The book covers roughly 8 types of knots and 9 different suturing methods. So obviously it is ideal for someone looking to get a quick hands-on start on basic suturing.[update 4-5-07] I think I may have underestimated this book. It is actually a nice and concise primer that I have referenced again and again. It is small enough to fit in a white coat or lab jacket pocket. Here is a summarized Table of Contents: One and two-handed square knot, Instrument tie square knot, Miller's and Modified Miller's knot; Suture materials, needles, methods, and patterns(appositional, tension, and inverting); Removing sutures and Basic Sterile Technique.
