Book for Performing Surgery?

[Hard24Get]

Hi all:

While the theory and diagnosis books are great, I am looking for a text that goes through step by step how to do certain procedures and why, ie pneumonectomy. I can't seem to find anything however - even Sabiston's seems limited in this regard. Do you guys just learn by watching/doing or is there a text?

Thanks!

Mastery of Surgery is one. Kinda pricy but good.

Check out Skandalakis and Skandalakis or Zollingers (although neither shows all the steps, but rather describes them).

I like Zollinger.

I'm also partial to Skaldalakis as I'm at Emory.

Thanks a lot, guys. I was also wondering about these kind of books. (Although I read that Zollinger isn't covering non-GI surgery as well as one would expect.. any other books?)

Also take a look at Chassin's Operative Strategy in General Surgery by Scott-Conner. Definitely need an operative atlas in addition to one of the traditional texts (Greenfield, Schwartz, Sabiston).
