Preface
A thorough anatomical and pathophysiological knowledge of the condition
and meticulous attention to surgical principles are the basis for all surgical
procedures. Assuming these requirements are fulfilled, surgery is by its
very nature a discipline which should be visualized. Modern visual aids
are therefore playing an increasingly important role in the instruction of
surgical techniques. This does not mean that textbooks will become redundant,
but there is a trend toward more illustrations and less text, a
tendency which underlies the preparation and publishing of this atlas.
