Abstract
This chapter concentrates on the topics that are relevant to every operation. These include protecting the patient against endogenous and exogenous infections during surgery, protecting the surgeon against infections that may be acquired from the patient, and ensuring that the operation is done in a “legal” and defensible manner. All the procedures described in this manual should be done in a specially designed operating theatre using sterile technique.
