| A Pantogen Surgical Script is a quick and
easy operative surgical training tool. It intent to provide
virtually all the information required on how to perform a named
operation. This information could only otherwise be obtained by
observing and performing the operation several times. Each
script contains the many small steps that a surgeon actually
undertakes in performing the operation. Each step is backed up
by the appropriate anatomical and pathological information needed to
complete it. In addition, each script presents hints and advice
for avoiding, preventing and solving technical problems that may be
encountered. It is acknowledged that there are entirely acceptable
alternatives to the procedures, equipment and materials suggested in
each script. |
