Traditionally it discusses instrumentation, tools and sterile techniques used to perform safe operations by generations of surgeons. A relatively new, but continuously expanding element is linked to the development of clinical surgery. This part involves surgical research on the pathophysiology of the perioperative period, and scientific studies on the consequences of invasive procedures on the body functions and on the relationship of surgery and patient care in general.
