Abstract:	With more than 1,000 photographs of surgical instruments and instrument tips in the book and online, Instrumentation for the Operating Room: A Photographic Manual, 8th Edition, shows more illustrations than any other manual. Instruments are organized by surgical specialty, beginning with basic sets and progressing to more advanced sets. Instructions on preparation, sterilization, and setup, as well as clear explanations for common surgical procedures can be found throughout the book. Within each chapter, instruments are commonly featured individually and as parts of sets, often showing close-up, individual tips. Written by an experienced perioperative nurse, Shirley Tighe, this edition includes new photographs of the operating room and of robotic and micro-surgical instruments, plus a companion Evolve website with additional photographs, flashcards, and review questions....75 new photographs show individual instruments and sets of instruments, including tips. Full operating room photographs are included in Operating Room Suite/Basic Laparotomy chapter. More than 25 new photographs of instrument tips are included in The da Vinci. Surgical System and EndoWrist Instruments (Robotic Instruments) chapter. Before-and-after radiograph images show a total ankle prosthesis, spinal rodding, and femoral artery blockage. Definitions, procedures, and possible equipment needed for a procedure are included in almost every chapter. A companion Evolve website features over 200 photographs of less-common instruments; flashcards; and more than 280 review questions.
