Yoo and Udayan K. Shah 1. Introduction Adenotonsillectomy (T&A) is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in children. An estimated 530,000 children undergo tonsillectomies each year in the United States.1 Various instruments are available currently to perform adenotonsillectomy. In Walner et al, monopolar electrocautery was used most often for total tonsillectomy. Monopolar electrocautery alone or in conjunction with the adenoid curette or the microdebrider were the top three instruments.2 In this chapter, we review the currently available technologies for performing T&A in children. We first review indications for T&A before discussing specific technologies and then discuss specific applications of these technologies for T&A. 2. Indications for T&A The indications for tonsillectomy have shifted over the past 40 years. In the early 1970s, close to 90% of tonsillectomy procedures in the United States were performed in response to infections. Current trends in T&A suggest obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as the indication for tonsillectomy in younger children, ages 0-8 years, while infection is the most common indication in children ages 9-18 years.3 Today, most procedures are performed to treat sleep disordered breathing (SDB), which is defined as a continuum from primary snoring to OSA. This trend reflects not only improved control of the complications of group A streptococcal pharyngitis with antibiotics but also increased rates of childhood obesity, a concomitant and perhaps related factor in the diagnosis of SDB, and a greater awareness of the impact of SDB on children’s educational progress and cognitive development.

    BASIC SURGICAL TECHNIQUES Textbook Authors: György Wéber MD, PhD, med. habil. János Lantos MSc, PhD Balázs Borsiczky MD, PhD Andrea Ferencz MD, PhD Gábor Jancsó MD, PhD Sándor Ferencz MD Szabolcs Horváth MD Hossein Haddadzadeh Bahri MD Ildikó Takács MD Borbála Balatonyi MD University of Pécs, Medical School Department of Surgical Research and Techniques 20 Kodály Zoltán Steet, H-7624 Pécs, Telephone: +36 72 535 820 Website:http://soki.aok.pte.hu 2008 1 PREFACE The healing is impossible without entering into suffering people’s feelings and to humble yourself in your profession. All these are completed by the ability to manage the immediate and critical situations dynamically and to analyze the diseases interdisciplinarily (e.g. diagnosis, differential diagnosis, appropriate decision among the alternative possibilities of treatment, etc.). A successful surgical intervention requires even more than this. It needs the perfect, aimful and economical coordination of operational movements. The refined technique of the handling and uniting the tissues –in the case of manual skills– is attainable by many practices, and the good surgeon works on the perfection of this technique in his daily operating activities. The most important task in the medical education is to teach the problem-oriented thinking and the needed practical ability. The graduate medical student will notice in a short time that a medical practitioner principally needs the practical knowledge and manual skill in provision for the sick. “The surgical techniques” is a popular subJect. It is a subJect in which the medical students -for the first time- will see the inside of the living and pulsating organism.

    APGO Basic Clinical Skills Curriculum Surgical Instruments Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO) Undergraduate Medical Education Committee ©2017 Surgical Instruments Table of Contents Description of Surgical Instruments 3 Intended Learning Outcomes 3 Best Practices 4 Checklist 7 Performance Assessment 12 Practical Tips 12 Resources 12 2 DESCRIPTION Learners rotating on the Obstetrics and Gynecology clerkship require basic knowledge and dexterity related to commonly-used surgical instruments. These skills with surgical instruments are important for 3rd and 4th year learners in all surgical and procedural specialties. Knowledge and dexterity with instruments and basic surgical techniques can increase faculty willingness to allow more hands-on learner participation in procedure- related encounters and the operating room in general. Increased learner participation can increase learner interest in the surgical and procedural aspects of Obstetrics and Gynecology. It can also allow the learner to explore if a procedural specialty is attractive as a future career choice. The goal of this module is to increase student knowledge and dexterity with commonly-used surgical instruments which ought to result in improved faculty willingness to actively involve learners in the surgical care of patients. This module presents a clinical simulation for teaching learners to correctly identify, hold and manipulate the commonly-used instruments for a C- Section and an abdominal hysterectomy. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES After completing this module learners will be able to do the following: 1. Visually identify the common surgical instruments used in a Cesarean section and an abdominal hysterectomy a. Scalpel (10-blade, 15-blade) b. Scissors (Metzenbaum, Mayo-Curved, Mayo-straight, Suture) c.
