Does the success of surgery depend solely on technical skill? This work shows that genuine clinical mastery lies in decision-making, grounded in a fundamental truth: “the surgeon learns to operate early, but takes much longer to learn when not to operate”.

Written by Dr Fernando Fombellida and Dr Francisco Martos, this book moves beyond abstract theory to become an indispensable day-to-day clinical resource. Throughout its pages, you will learn how to assess each case, determine precisely what you can promise your patient, and master the predictability of every treatment before making the first incision.

What makes this work unique?
- Visually outstanding: more than 1.000 photographs and diagrams across 536 pages, achieving an ideal balance between theory and clinical practice.
