Further changes and additional procedures have been included in the third edition of this text to reflect improved techniques and also to take account of those doctors who wish to undertake more complex minor surgical operations. In the first edition decompression of the carpal tunnel and release of trigger finger were included, but because of the risks of intravenous regional block anaesthesia they were omitted from the second edition. They have been reintroduced, together with stab avulsion of varicose veins and excision of ganglion, in a separate section on "Advanced minor surgery" and, instead of intravenous regional block, a much safer technique is described. In Chapter 50 there is a collection of patient information leaflets reflecting the growing awareness of the importance of giving patients as much information about their operation as possible.

The latest edition of Minor Surgery carries on the highly respected tradition of the well known earlier editions in providing a superbly illustrated step-by-step guide to minor surgery. As previously, the book begins by placing minor surgery into context with a description of the setting up, equipping and running of a minor operations facility in a primary health care setting. Methods of anaesthesia follow. The text then goes on to describe over 40 surgical procedures in step-by-step detail, accompanied by colour photographs and line drawings. The authority and clarity of the text owe much to the author's own experience of over 20,000 minor operations. All sections have been revised, some reflect improved techniques and others take into account the wishes of those doctors who undertake more complex minor surgical procedures. The latter are incorporated into the Advanced Minor Surgery section, which includes the technique of radio-surgery. A new chapter on the role of the Practice Nurse/Operating Theatre Assistant is included, acknowledging the vital role they play. Another important new chapter features biopsy techniques, allowing for prompt diagnosis of skin cancer. As a new addition, specialists in their field have been invited to write a chapter giving information on how to improve the results of minor surgery. This Specialist Minor Surgery Section contains contributions from a consultant plastic surgeon, consultant ophthalmologist and dental surgeon.
