I vividly remember my first day as an intern in general surgery.
It was a gloomy morning, and I was up since 3 a.m.,
excited to finally be a doctor. My chief resident looked at me
and told me: “You go do the inguinal hernia today.” My
excitement was swiftly traded with pure terror: How can I be
competent when I have no idea what I am supposed to be
doing? I spent the next 2 hours researching every possible
source I could find but was disappointed to find that there are
no clear and precise resources to quickly and efficiently go
through the steps of such a common operation. That day was
the birth of the idea of the book you have in your hands
today.
The present book tries to fulfill a need of medical studentsduring their surgical rotations, of interns looking to understand
common surgical procedures, and of chief residents
reviewing steps for the most commonly asked operations during
board certification. The book is written in a simple fashion,
with bullet-point steps to be easy and quick for the
reader. It also includes hints about the positioning of the
patient and potential pitfalls for every surgery.
On behalf of all the authors, I hope that this book will
become an invaluable companion, one that will be inside
your white coat pocket, worn from use, and always your ally
during the stressful days of surgical rotations and residency.
