Assisting at surgical operations is essential, as most surgeons rely on skilled assistants for anything beyond minor procedures. This second edition provides a clear and effective guide to the core skills required for surgical assisting, covering both general surgery and over a dozen specialty areas, including gastroenterological and cardiological procedures. Updated to reflect major changes in operative techniques and evolving roles, it addresses advances in minimal-access surgery-laparoscopic, robotic, endoscopic, and endovascular-alongside vital safety information. Featuring ten new chapters, the book explores topics such as patient handover, the WHO surgical safety checklist, radiation and laser safety, specimen labelling, and managing retained surgical items. Another addition is a dedicated chapter supporting surgeons transitioning to retirement through surgical assisting. Ideal for medical students, junior doctors, and all professionals involved in assisting at procedures, this comprehensive resource equips readers with the knowledge and confidence to excel in the modern surgical environment.
