The Surgical Tech Student

FEBRUARY 1, 2024

Hello!! It’s been a while since I made a post. I finally got a photo of my cords and how I set them up for our knee scopes. One of our surgeons likes them on a mayo stand. This one does not. He just likes them up on the patient. So, I devised my own way of making quick work of the cords!! This (old) photo shows how most (if not all) of our techs set up their cords.

Research has always been integral to the field of neurosurgery. Its purpose is to improve patient treatment paradigms and stimulate innovation. Given these efforts, an emphasis on research quality and productivity has become a minimal requirement to enter and progress in academic neurosurgery. However, the barrier to entry in neurosurgery research remains relatively high for medical students, neurosurgery residents and young neurosurgeons — which may be prohibitive for academic progress.

Although fundamentally interdependent, in practice, these teams tend to work in relative isolation from one another, providing what falls within their particular remit before responsibility passes along to the next. In this blog, we look at how this both reflects and encourages the development of silos , and how these can impact the quality and efficiency of perioperative care.
