what website can i search for surgical procedures with surgical instruments?


I want to know what website i can find about surgical procedures and the surgical instruments they use in that certain surgery?

I have this project wherein we have to state a certain surgical procedure and place all the necessary surgical instruments used in the surgery, im a nursing student. i dont know wwhat website to look into about surgical procedures and their corresponding surgical tools?

www.altiusdirectory.com would be a good starting point for additional resources.

For such a broad assignment, I would recommend picking the surgical procedure first. I think it would be easier to research "how an appendectomy is performed".

What are the most common ENT, Head and Neck surgical procedures in the UK?


What ENT surgical procedures are most frequent in the UK (private and public). What is your opinion on the pre-operative management of these conditions?

ENT would probably be tonsillectomy though it is not performed as often nowadays.  In the past the used to take children's tonsils out straight away, now they are only removed if the child is getting persistant tonsillitis which is affecting their life such as missing school frequently.  With adults they don't remove them as often as it has more complecations.  I got tonsillitis at 18 for the first time and had it permanently for 2 years before it was decided it would be easier to take them out.

Why do I get light headed when people talk about surgical procedures?


I have a couple friends who are nurses. Whenever they go into detail about surgical procedures I get real light headed and have some shortness of breathe. What is going on with me? Am I having a mini panic attack, or is it a case of Syncope?

That happens to me to, or in my case I end up passing out.  Its just the thought of that stuff being done that freaks you out and grosses you out to the extent you cant take it... at least thats how it was explained to me.

What are different other none surgical procedures to get rid of access belly fat?

What are different other none surgical procedures to get rid of access belly fat? Laser? Shots? What are they called so i can research and find out prices.

Start eating right...lots of veggies and protein,,,skip all white bread and all sugar totally....and WALK ...preferably take walks in the morning, just drink a little water and WALK...your tummy is empty, so the body will burn fat for energy...

If you do this repeatedly YOU will get rid of  your tummy in 6 months.

What surgical procedures against overweight are there?



I'm going to do a presentation on surgical procedures against overweight. I know about the gastric bypass surgery, but is there anything else?

Look at www.altiusdirectory.com for information on the different procedures. And I would not recommend one procedure over another, as the other poster mentioned. The lap band is less effective for many people and a lot of insurance companies only cover one procedure per patient, so there is no going back for gastric bypass if the lap band doesn't work. The thing is, different procedures are recommended for different people; what might work well for one person may not lead to lasting weight loss for another. This is something the individual and their bariatric surgeon need to decide.
