Review

Operative Dictations in General and Vascular Surgery, the first volume in Springer's new Operative Dictations Made Simple Series, is intended to teach residents the principles of succinct and precise operative dictations for a wide spectrum of surgical procedures. Designed as a portable resource, the book provides typical dictations to guide the resident. Comprised of 155 procedures, this volume covers the alimentary tract, breast, lymph nodes, and head and neck, as well as vascular surgery, including aneurysmal disease and endovascular procedures. This volume provides templates for both minimally invasive and open approaches. As it is often difficult for the surgical resident to filter what should be included in the operative report, this book provides an authoritative guide for operative dictations while remaining flexible enough to accomodate variations in the surgical procedures performed. Written by the experienced team of a surgical department chair and a program director, the book guides the reader step-by-step through successful dictations. The book can also serve as a quick review of the essential steps of various surgical procedures. Clearly, a must-have for every surgical resident.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must have for a surgical resident., January 2, 2006

By	Surgical Resient - See all my reviews

This book is very well written and has almost every operation that I could possibly perform as a surgical resident. It's also very brief and to the point. It was a great review of the operation right before going into the OR. Also, I have it downloaded onto my palm so searching for operations is easy and fast. I would highly recommend this product, especially for the general surgery intern.
