Features: Regardless of how rapidly surgical specialization advances, basic surgical training remains indispensable. Sterility, hemostasis, and gentle handling of tissues remain the foundation of all surgical techniques and are the most crucial aspects of surgical procedures. There is an extremely close causal relationship between the precision and harmony of surgical operations and patient safety. For this reason, this atlas provides detailed descriptions of every surgical procedure, even setting stringent standards for preoperative skin preparation, the selection of materials and thickness of sutures during the operation, and the process of changing the patient's position at the end of the surgery. At the same time, the author repeatedly emphasizes preventive measures to avoid damage to important anatomical structures during surgery, reminding doctors not to rigidly adhere to anatomical conventions but to remain highly vigilant about potential anatomical variations in specific areas of the patient. On the other hand, the author also pays attention to how individual physiological conditions affect surgical selection, perioperative management, and the outcomes of surgical procedures. Meanwhile, to keep pace with advancements in surgical technology and the application of new instruments, the author has revised the text sections and illustrations of over 60 surgical procedures in all chapters of this atlas. Notably, 16 entirely new chapters have been added, including various advanced laparoscopic and endoscopic surgeries, gastrointestinal surgeries using new staplers, improved hernia repair surgeries with novel biomaterials, and breast sentinel lymph node excision using nuclear localization techniques. In the face of the current myriad of new technologies and operative methods, surgeons are often perplexed. The chapters in this atlas provide more authoritative operational guidelines for these related procedures.
