Book Description

Excerpt from Care of Patients Undergoing Gynecologic and Abdominal Procedures: Before, During, and After Operation Every surgeon, in preparing for an unusual operation, has found it difficult to decide just what instruments and materials should be selected. To the novice in the operating room, nurse, or intern every operation is an unusual one, and without special instruction in preparation for various operations important instruments and articles will be overlooked. The surgeon, too, harassed with the care of many patients, will not infrequently find that in his selection he has omitted some things which would have greatly expedited his work. While convalescing from an operation last summer the writer decided to prepare for his assistants some typewritten instructions which, as the work progressed, he found it necessary to extend, until this little book is its outgrowth. He has endeavored to present a chart which, if intelligently followed, will greatly accelerate the work of the surgeon, add to the comfort of his patients, and redound to the credit of his assistants. His own experience assures him that this book will prove valuable to the young gynecologist by making easy his early steps alone in the field of pelvic and abdominal surgery.
