Surgery is a very personal exercise and no two surgeons use an identical technique. Traditionally, operative expertise has been acquired through a system of apprenticeships. Pettigrew has shown that operative performance is the main factor in determining postoperative complications and therefore the length of hospital stay, and surgical journals have recently returned to technique as a topic of debate. Certain skills, such as knot tying, can be learned and tested outside the operating theatre, and this has been extended to craft workshops dealing with more complex procedures, including fracture fixation. This article describes an anastomosis workshop held in New Zealand recently for general surgical trainees.
手术是一项非常个性化的操作，没有两位外科医生会采用完全相同的技术。传统上，手术专业技能是通过学徒制体系获得的。佩蒂格鲁指出，手术操作表现是决定术后并发症进而影响住院时间的主要因素，并且外科期刊最近又将技术作为一个辩论话题。某些技能，比如打结，可以在手术室之外学习和测试，而且这已经扩展到了处理包括骨折固定在内的更复杂手术的工艺车间。本文描述了最近在新西兰为普通外科实习生举办的一次吻合术研习班。
