BBASS demonstrates and explains how the surgical instrument, as an extension of the fingers, feels tissues and explores tissue planes. Lod Berley Moynihan said surgeons need to caress the tissues and not be mere 'hewers' of flesh. Sharp dissection is clean dissection. Lightness and touch and economy of movement are the result of attending to basic surgical skills. We need to practice until we cannot get these wrong. In emergency situations, and under duress, a solid foundation in basic surgical skills enables us to think critically under pressure.

Summary
