This book is an excellent introduction to various aspects of the many different surgeries and procedures in use, such as anatomy, instrumentation, and OR duties. It also contains a solid introduction to ethics. Overall, a useful book for the budding medical student, or for anyone interested in surgery.

This is a Surgical Technologist text book that many schools use. It's a decent book but I find it contradictory in many areas. Each chapter starts with and introduction explaining what is in the chapter. Then when you get to each section, it contradicts the material in the introduction which my entire ST class finds very confusing.

Tough book to learn from due to all the mistakes in the text and workbook answer key. Mislabeled pictures, tons of spelling and grammar mistakes, incorrect, ambiguous and conflicting info presented. Every chapter has mistakes. An editing nightmare. My whole class and instructors want to pull our hair out. I don't recommend this book to any program director. Unfortunately we are too far into it and are stuck with weeding through the mistakes. Too bad, I heard the 4th edition was very good.

Very detailed and easy to understand!!! I love the way this book is formatted! It takes me time to learn and this book helps me to take in the information easily.

Amazon.com makes it easy to find what you need and the prices aren't bad either. I rate Amazon at 9.99! Almost perfect in what they do!

This seller is the best so far. I ordered the book on February 24th and it was delivered on February 26th. the book was in perfect condition, brand new still in the plastic wrap. i wish this seller had all the books i needed. would definitely do business with this seller again. very honest too.

plastic wrap was ripped when i got it. but book was still in new condition

I like to know what the procedure is and what instruments they use
