Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This new edition meets the requirements of the revised Core Curriculum for Surgical Technologists, 5th edition. It is written by surgical technologists for surgical technologists. The content focuses on the concepts and skill development (cognitive and procedural) required of surgical technologists in the operative environment. The text uses the A POSitive CARE approach to surgical problem solving that concentrates on the ability of the surgical technologist to predict the patient’s and surgeon’s needs through the intraoperative period. The goal is for the surgical technologist to apply this model in daily practice for maximum efficiency and effectiveness during the surgical procedure. The surgical procedures included in the text were selected for their instructive value and because the skills demonstrated can be applied to many other procedures.

Let's face it, there aren't too many textbooks written specifically for surgical technologists. So this is the basic text and it's ok. There's a ton of material and sometimes it's hard to judge which information is the most pertinent and important (you can't memorize the whole thing; you have to be able to find the high points). This was the only text used during the very first semester of my program.
For the second semester, the instructor also required Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery. She stated that the surg tech book was still the primary resource, but she thought that Alexander's gave better descriptions of the surgical procedures with the understanding that Alexander's is written for nurses.
So this textbook probably is the standard for surgical technology programs, partly because no one else has written another one.

As a student myself, I found that this book is highly readable, but oftentimes, the text and layout feels cramped as though the editors were attempting to place every single chart, picture, graph, and piece of text on as much square area for each page.
Otherwise, it's been a valuable tool in helping me prepare for the field of Surgical Technology.
I find that the workbook, which was required for my specific program, was often wholely unrelated to the material in the book, which is quite frustrating.
Would this book be sufficient for anyone to learn the profession? Probably not by itself, but it's definitely a beginning.

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.
