Kirwan's Operating Room Techniques: An Illustrated Guide for the Surgical Assistant - Paperback

by Laurence Kirwan (Author)

This book is for those working in the Operating Room: surgical assistants, scrub techs, medical students, and surgical residents. It teaches basic skills and essential operating room knowledge that I have learned over my career as a Plastic Surgeon for the last 35 years. I hope to lower the learning curve and increase the knowledge base for those beginning a career in the operating room or for those simply wanting to improve their surgical skills, whether it be in the Emergency Room or in Private Practice.

• Compact easy-to-use reference.
• How to be an efficient surgeon and an assistant.
• Step-by-step instructions on instrument and hand tying.
• Guidance from a Plastic Surgeon with 35 plus years of experience.
