Features: This book contains three key aspects. The first is the main focus on the illustration of surgical methods and procedures. The illustrations are designed to be concise, clear, and easy to understand, with surgical methods selected for their representativeness. The second is the description of anatomical pathologies. The purpose and requirements of surgery are to correct the anatomical pathologies of diseases, including partial correction and functional correction. Surgical methods and procedures often vary from person to person, and surgical techniques can sometimes be highly diverse. However, all variations remain grounded in the fundamental principle of focusing on anatomical pathologies. A profound understanding of anatomical pathologies is of great importance. Therefore, this book excludes relatively standardized and conventional content such as preoperative preparation, surgical indications, contraindications, and postoperative care, emphasizing instead the anatomical pathologies. The third is discussions and surgical advancements. The book dedicates a sufficient amount of space to lectures and summaries of experiences related to surgical techniques. This is done for two reasons: on one hand, to address issues that are difficult to convey through simple illustrations; on the other hand, to spark ideas, facilitate communication with peers, exchange experiences, inspire innovation, and foster creativity. The entire book covers 42 topics and over 100 surgical techniques, featuring more than 800 illustrations and nearly 200,000 words of text.
