There are many superb books on how to do operations but there are few or none on how to assist at them, and none written either by or for medical students or doctors. Therefore, the skills that make an expert surgical assistant are difficult to acquire. Normally, they can only be learnt in a haphazard way, by spending years in the operating theatre. This book describes those skills in a concise and systematic way, in surgery in general, and in ten different speciality areas. Although intended mainly for clinical-level medical students and junior doctors, other people who assist at surgical operations, including general practitioners, nurse assistants and surgical technologists, will also find it useful. Whether planning a career in surgery, or simply aiming for high marks in a surgical rotation, there are few better ways to impress a surgeon than by skilfully assisting at surgical operations.

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.
