• Sommario/riassunto: With the recent changes in the health care industry, surgeons face increasing pressure to devote their time to their clinical activities, thus limiting their research efforts. It is essential that young and creative individuals are encouraged to perform research and are given incentives to participate in research under the mentorship of more experienced research investigators. Surgical Research is the first book to include all the information necessary for the surgical scientist to perform a research experiment.
