Features: This book does not provide comprehensive information but serves as a guiding reference. From the perspective of surgical department nurses, it describes the procedures and common surgical techniques for common surgeries. Important points are summarized in caution boxes at the end of each surgical procedure. It is evident that the surgical methods described in this book are primarily the author's expertise in surgical teaching, but it also includes modifications and alternative techniques by other surgeons. The instrument preparers must adapt to the needs of the surgeon at the time. The description style of this book is intentionally concise and aligns with the commonly understood terminology in the operating room. Part of the book covers general basic knowledge, such as patient positioning during surgery, suture materials, and surgical instruments. The focus is on the development of endoscopic surgery, the equipment for endoscopic surgery, and the preparation of endoscopic instruments. The second part lists surgical procedures in alphabetical order for general surgery, organ surgery, vascular surgery, thoracic surgery, and pediatric surgery. The third part of the book is the grouping and combination of surgical instruments that are not possible. The appendix explains the legal issues in the work of surgical department nurses.
