PY - 2015 T2 - Schwartz's Principles of Surgery, 10e AB - Each new edition of this book is approached by the editorial team with a dual vision keeping a dedicated eye affixed to the foundations of surgery while bringing into sharper focus on new and emerging elements. We are entering into a spectacular era of surgery in which the highest quality of care is merging with minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery, the use of supercomputers, and personalized genomic surgery, all designed to improve the outcomes and quality of life for our patients. With these advances in mind, several new chapters have been added and all previous chapters have been updated with an emphasis on evidence-based, state-of-the-art surgical care. While this tried-and-true method remains the basis for upholding and maintaining the superb efforts and achievements of Dr. Seymour Schwartz and previous coeditors and contributors, this edition expands its vision to see beyond the operating theater and takes a look at the making of a surgeon as a whole, with the addition of the chapter, Fundamental Principles of Leadership Training in Surgery. Surely excellence in craft must be mastered and equal importance must also be given to the nontechnical training of what it means to be a leader of a surgical team.
