I bought this book with not experience at all. By page 5 I was cutting in to people and having a ball. I removed a kidney by my self. This book is tops! Just kidding, bought this book for my wife who is an OR RN. Thought I would have a little fun…
Rating: 5 / 5
Very helpful guide to knowing what is needed for specific surgeries. Enhanced the texts that I’m currently using in class.
Rating: 4 / 5
Having just graduated from school and entering the OR for the first time, I can attest that this is by far one of the best quick-reference texts I’ve owned yet! I use it every time I have questions on how a surgical procedure is carried out; it includes the surgical goal, equipment and instrumentation necessary, and special considerations for each and every kind of procedure in the book. This book is very useful also because it covers general and specialty surgeries. I highly recommend this for anyone entering the OR for the first time.

It’s a great book, but it’s not exactly a “pocket” book that you can stick in your pocket and walk around the OR with!!!!
Should be reissued in larger print and maybe as a ring binder.
Still highly recommended, but not easily toted around at work.

This book offers precise informaiton on operating room procedure as well as technique variations and instrumentation. It also provides circulator information for the operating room and supplies needed. This is a very good book and I was not without it during my surgical technology rotation! It was highly recomended by other professionals as well.
