OPERATIVE SURGERY: DIAGNOSIS AND OPERATIVE TREATMENT

The training of basic surgical principles remains the essential platform for all future growth and developments in surgery. This book has been written to fulfill the needs of undergraduate medical students. Medical Science has entered a new dimension of growth. With the development of electro-medical technologies, the whole outlook of operative treatment is shifting towards minimal access surgery. It will not be a surprise if, in a decade, the manuals of operative surgery will be completely rewritten. It was not very long ago when surgeons were reluctant to accept even laparoscopic cholecystectomy thinking that it was just an enthusiastic adventure with the potential to harm the patients. Within a short period, laparoscopic surgery has become the gold standard in various surgical procedures.
