Description

In Martial Arts technique comes before power and speed. The same applies to surgery. To understand correctness of technique you need to appreciate the functional anatomy of the hand. It is a prehensile multiply appendaged part of the upper limb used for manipulation. As we are bipedal is function has become more advanced. The sensory feedback of the pulps of the fingers i are used to assess the shape, size, texture and weight of an object being held and the substate to which the object is applied. The precise motor skills and sensory input mean that the surgical instruments can be regarded as extensions of the fingers and must be used as such to ‘caress tissues and not merely be hewers of flesh Lord Berkey Moynihan’. BBASS explores the anatomy of the hand and explains how to hold the surgical instrument. Many instruments are eponymous of famous surgeons who realised the ergonomics of the art.
