"Surgical text books, even those that deal most minutely with operative techiques, make scant reference to the duties of the surgical assistant. And yet the skill of the assistant is scarcely less important than the skill of the surgeon himself. In an operation the surgeon must depend, not only upon the experience and the caution of the anesthesiologist, but also upon the familiarity with aseptic details, the foresight and adaptability, and the coolness in emergency of those who aid him in the mechanical procedure itself.
Manually, he must help in the procedure; mentally, he must himself undertake it; he should be not be a pair of hands alone but a brain as well."
