BBASS has covered how to use the scissors and the blade in previous sessions. We no combine the two arts in the techniques for dissection. We aim to get you to think about tissue plane and how to use them to your advantage as a surgeon. The majority of tissue planes are blood less (BBASS will explain the exceptions) enabling the surgeon to explore the anatomy and respect the tissues. Orthopaedic surgeon have to go through soft tissue to get to the bone - the periosteum and the soft tissues are integral to bone healing! Caress and respect the tissues because your patient depends on these skills.
