Learning To Handle New Surgical Equipment

Dr. Thomas San Giovanni, Orthopedic Surgeon with Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute says there's constantly new equipment for surgeries. “Part of it is also the knowledge of the anatomy. You would think surgeons have that knowledge of anatomy, and they do, but a lot of times it is viewed from a perspective that everything is opened up," he says. The specialist affirms It's important to know the technique, but also how to use the equipment and how to get around things to avoid.
