Review

"An excellent addition to our surgical literature, filling a void that has been present: too long...The real value of this book is its ability to convey fundamental surgical concepts and techniques in a simple, clear, and efficient way...It does so in a multimedia style at a cost that's hard to beat."―Archives of Dermatology

Essential Surgical Skills

Reviewed in the United States on 16 January 2010

I purchased this book in the hope that it would help me prepare for my surgical rotation as a third year medical student. It has excellent tutorials on suturing and the basics of flaps. The book is pretty short read but with good illustrations. At our school, we had hands-on instruction at the beginning of our rotation on the basic knots and sutures that as a medical student you would be expected to know. Working with the pig skin and an expert in surgery was the most helpful way to learn the correct way to perform these ties and sutures. This book does a good job of preparing you for suturing and tying before you start your rotation. However, there are also many free resources out there and YouTube videos that are helpful. Just run a search for "suturing" and you'll find many helpful tutorials. I never got around to using the CD-ROMs because I planned on reselling the book so I can't comment on these.

I think while this book is a great resource, for the price of $50 it isn't worth it. There are plenty of free resources and YouTube videos that are just as helpful. That said, the information is put together in a nice introductory fashion so if you are planning on going into surgery, its a nice resource to have before starting the rotation. It will make you look more polished before entering the operating room

The reason I took off a star is the product remains too expensive especially if it is geared toward medical students when most of this information on knot and suturing tying is available on the internet and other resources.

Being prepared for the operating room will give you that extra confidence that will help you win points with your attending. Try and obtain some extra tie material from the scrub techs after a case and practice whenever you have down time.
