Reviews for Handbook of Surgical Technique: A True Surgeon's Guide to Navigating the Operating Room

This is an affordable beginner's guide to the OR. The book and accompanying videos provide good value and should be helpful for medical students and possibly some first-year residents. It occupies a unique niche in surgical books. Reviewed by Carol Scott-Conner, MD, PhD, MBA (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics)
