Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Welcome to the first foundational textbook written by surgical technologists. With over 95 procedures, Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist includes equipment and supplies, operative preparation, practical and technical considerations, and postoperative considerations. No other resource will better prepare you to anticipate the patient’s and surgeon’s needs before, during, and after a surgical procedure. This book is the ultimate tool to help you apply the guidelines found in the Core Curriculum for Surgical Technology, published by the Association of Surgical Technologists.

About the Author
The Association of Surgical Technologists was established in 1969 by members of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), the American Hospital Association (AHA), and the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN).

5.0 out of 5 stars A book of information for the Surgical Technologist student, November 17, 2000
By roselynnguerrier@hotmail.com (Fort Lauderdale,FL USA) - See all my reviews
This book is full of information that is helpful. I am in my second term of taking a Surgical Technology course. We just start the real meat of the course... from patient position, drapes, and starting in a couple of weeks gi surgery. This book has it all and the instruments used in the major and minor tray. We have now the Alexander's which is good for the breakdown of different surgerical procedures but when it comes to the Surgical Tech's role there is not much. I'm glad that the AST has finally written a book. It will come handy now and throughout my career as a Surgical Tech. Kudos to AST...well done!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great educational book, May 6, 2004
By Melvin Gonzalez (Inwood, NY United States) - See all my reviews
I actually work in Central Sterile Processing. I found this book very useful with the information of surgical procedures, anotomy charts , surgical instruments. Plus it is very clear on its format, easy to understand and follow. This book will answer many questions that students going for surgical technology need or simple just like me, a person who works with surgical instruments on the daily basis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, January 11, 2003
By "shydefair1" (San Marcos, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent book if you are a surgical technology student. I bought this book in addition to my required book for school becuase it was so much better than the required book. It is very descriptive and has lots of helpful pictures. The AST has done a wondeful job with this text book.
